Is there any man made metal out there as strong or stronger than diamond?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

Diamond was considered the hardest substance; outside of the Earth you can count the iron on a neutron star which is 100 times stronger than normal earth iron but it couldn't retain its strength or mass on earth. Also, the crust of the sun is muchstronger than diamonds, steel or titanium. There is also a new material scientists created by mixing molten tin and barium titanate, this new material is considered harder and stiffer than a diamond.

Answer 3

No there is nothing harder than diamond. According to the mineral hardness scale, diamond is a 10 out of 10. Diamond can scratch every other mineral and cannot be scratched unless it's be another diamond. Some people don't think it is hard because you can smash a diamond. This just means that it is brittle.

Answer 4

According to PhysOrg.com:

"Currently, diamond is regarded to be the hardest known material in the world. But by considering large compressive pressures under indenters, scientists have calculated that a material called wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN) has a greater indentation strength than diamond. The scientists also calculated that another material, lonsdaleite (also called hexagonal diamond, since it's made of carbon and is similar to diamond), is even stronger than w-BN and 58 percent stronger than diamond, setting a new record."

Answer 5

Apparently, no.

Translated from Italian Google:

"The borazone is a crystal synthetic, allotrope of boron nitride , it is a material superduro , the third among those artificial hardness, preceded only by nanotubes of diamond aggregates and synthetic diamonds."

Note that borazone is not a metal.

Answer 6

Yes, there are naturally occuring crystals which are slightly harder than diamond - one example is wurtzite boron nitride - and there are some nanomaterials that are harder than diamond. But diamond is far cheaper and can be synthetically made, which makes diamond more common and useful.

Answer 7

There is no man-made metal that is stronger than diamond. Diamond is the hardest natural substance known, ranking at the top of the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. While there are extremely strong and durable man-made materials, such as carbon-based nanotubes and graphene, diamond still remains unparalleled in terms of hardness.

Answer 8

IT'S hyperdiamond.................11% harder than dimaond.

Answer 9

No, not to my best knowledge. (according to Mohr's scale and Vickers or Brinell's)
