Best Answer

Ammunitions, armors, shielding materials: depleted uranium metal (approx. 0,2 % 235U) alloyed with ca. 2 % other elements. Nuclear fuel for research reacyors: U-Zr-Er-H Potential alloys in the future: U-Ti, U-Nb, U-Zr, U-Zr-Nb, U-Mo

What is the metal for fishing weights?

Fishing weights are made of a lead alloy due to its density, malleability, and low cost.Gold and uranium would be better for density, but gold is too expensive and uranium is somewhat hard and brittle (but depleted uranium is somewhat inexpensive although still more expensive than lead).
