The strongest metal known to man as of this point in time is still titanium, and the strongest man made metal alloy is Carbon 40. (Although this is based only of what is known and available on the market, who knows what has been abd is being developed by the US Gov't and privat Industry? In matters such as these - real life is usually stranger than fiction).
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals
The metal with the highest Tensile strength is Steel. Steel can be hardened to make it stronger than plain iron or low grade steels. However, high-strength, hardened steels can be quite brittle and will snap like glass when it fails.Titanium is a strong metal for its density. Titanium is 1/3 the density of steel so it has a high strength to weight ratio. Aluminum is even lighter and is weaker. Engineers select the metal that has the strength and weight that is required for their design.Carbon fiber is a stronger material than steel. And some scientists have demonstrated that a spider's thread is stronger than anything.
No; the melting point of wolfram (W) is the highest known - 3 422 0C.
Of the pure metals, tungsten and titanium are probably the strongest. Certainly tungsten heads the list as it has the highest tensile strength of all pure metals.
Tungsten is commonly used in the filaments of incandescent lamps because it has a high melting point and does not easily evaporate at high temperatures, making it suitable for prolonged use as a source of light.
Tungsten is the strongest pure metal in the world. Tungsten has a very high density, more than 19.3 times denser than water. It is denser than uranium and lead.
Pure titanium is not the strongest metal in the world. Materials like tungsten, steel alloys, and carbon fibers are stronger than titanium because they have higher tensile strength. Titanium, however, is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it a popular choice in aerospace and medical applications.
There are none, tungsten is a pure element so it is made of only tungsten.

Tungsten is primarily mined from wolframite and scheelite ores, which are found in various regions around the world, including China, Russia, Canada, and Bolivia. Once mined, tungsten is extracted through a series of processing methods, resulting in the pure metal that is used in various industrial applications.
As of Oct 2008, The price for pure metal is around $20,075 per tonne (Wikipedia).
Titanium is a very strong and light metal and is used in aircraft, naval ships, spacecraft, armor plating and missiles. It can withstand even extreme temperatures and has excellent corrosion resistance. The cons is the it is very expensive.
As a high performance material, pure tungsten has high melting temperature, high density, low vapor pressure, low thermal expansion combined with good thermal conductivity, sufficient electrical resistance and high modulus of elasticity.
No. Tungsten is an element, where as tungsten carbide is an alloy, or a mixture of elements (tungsten, nickel, tantalum, niobium, titanium, and chromium). Tungsten carbide is much easier to work into styles and designs, but does not change the hardness of the metal.
The world's strongest metal is titanium. Commercial grade Titanium (92% pure) is 63,000 psi (434 MPa), which can be compared to a low grade steel alloy but is 45% lighter. It is an alloy to natural elements tungsten, iridium and other metals including aluminum, molybdenum, iron, and manganese. It is also a super alloy of liqiud metal. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1,400 MPa). Megapascal or MPa is a unit to measure tensile strength.
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal element, known for its high melting point and strength. It is primarily composed of pure tungsten, with small amounts of other elements such as carbon and oxygen.
