Diamonds are the hardest mineral known.

Metal refers to metallic materials, and there are many of them. In order to give a 'yes' or 'no' answer to your question, you must specify which metal.

Always, however, diamonds are harder than any metal; the number of times harder, then depends on which metal is being compared to diamond in hardness.
