Of course, not. The sheer density of steel, in any thickness, relegates wood to a poor substitute in any regard to strength. If you were to refine your question as to longevity under certain conditions, perhaps, the answer would be different. As a general rule, steel, is far stronger than wood.

The question refers to hardness, not strength. Wood is softer than steel, but that alone is not why it is also weaker. Introducing longevity merely complicates the matter!

Where did they get the materials to make the titanic?
The materials of Titanic, specifically her steel, was probably not a factor in the end. This is about 46,000 tons of steel going about 25 mph smashing against something that's harder than granite. Glacial ice is not frozen water. It's densely compacted snow, so it's six times denser than the ice in your freezer.
Are rocks harder than teeth?
no, teeth are harder than rocks
What were the materials were used to build the titanic?
lots of metal constructionplasterwoodsteelTitanic was built of iron, steel, and far too much wood to pass modern safety codes.Titanic was constructed of iron, steel, and far too much wood to comply with modern safety codes.
On a cold winter day why would iron feel much colder to touch than wood?
The thermal conductivity, and thermal capacity of iron is a lot higher than for wood. So when you touch wood, a little heat from your finger warms the wood just at that place and isn't conducted away. But for iron, it's as though your finger is trying to heat the whole piece, the heat conducts away rapidly and your finger then keeps trying to supply more until it is as cold as the iron. So the iron feels colder - just because it doesn't warm under your finger like the wood.

What is harder than stainless steel?
Many things are harder than stainless steel. Stainless steel can vary in hardness depending on the alloy and any treatment(s), but lots of carbon steels can be harder. Certainly diamond is harder as it is the hardest substance known to man.
Why is Ice weak to Steel?
Because steel is a harder material than ice.
What is 5 times harder than a metal?
What is 5 times stronger than metal? Steel - Because steel is a compound which steel is like a hard rock! Unbreakable! Steel can be even harder then ever which means it can be stronger then 5 more like 100 but that is only SOME types! Steel is way harder, yes 5 times harder!
