Perhaps an alloy of Osmium and Iridium, the two densest metals known. however I suspect an alloy of Iridium with an interstitial dopant in solid solution (perhaps a small element which could fit between the iridium atoms) might be more dense. Osmium is quite toxic when oxidised so I wouldn't bother with it.

What is the second densest metal known?

Iridium is the second densest naturally occuring element after osmium; the two are quite close in density. There are several synthetic radioactive elements which are thought to have much higher densities, but since only a few atoms of these have ever been produced and a piece large enough to see would vaporize itself, it's really a purely theoretical matter.


What is the densest alloy known to date and what are its unique properties that make it stand out among other materials?

What does the term base or parent metal in an alloy mean?

The term "base metal" or "parent metal" in an alloy refers to the primary metal that forms the majority of the alloy's composition. It serves as the foundation of the alloy, with other elements added to enhance its properties. The base metal determines the alloy's primary characteristics and properties.
