      Steel is much stronger than titanium.

      Titanium is a middle ground between steel and aluminum.

    The true tossup is actually mercury or lead.

    Both insanely useful metals with a massive variety of helpful traits.

    And the universe made them poisonous to us as a big “FUCK YOU”.

      It’s very annoying that gold is so expensive. Much less toxic and still has loads of great properties. It’s just, you know, expensive.

        Yeah, and it’s expensive because it’s …well, expensive. It’s not any less abundant than some other metals or more difficult to extract. We just decided it’s gonna be expensive

        There’s also silver which is an off brand ripoff version of gold. It kind of sucks because it discolors and turns purple.

    Amateurs! It’s gotta be silver!

    • Looks nice in jewellery
    • Antimicrobial properties
    • An essential component of camera film
    • Highly conductive (e.g. used for electrodes and thermal paste in computing)
    • Catalyst in many chemical reactions
    • Used to make mirrors
    • A critical component of solar panels
    • The only metal capable of incapacitating werewolves, and also somewhat effective against vampires

      Until it oxidizes, and silver is a complete whore for oxygen.

    Aluminum “rusts” as well. White rust. Aluminum oxide.

    source
    • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      in fact, it rusts so fast, that it’s pretty much impossible to get a “clean” aluminium surface while oxygen is around

      source
      • Maalus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        They had to invent an entirely new style of welding to weld it correctly because it rusts so much you can’t even melt it for welding reliably.

      You also need both iron oxide and aluminum powder to make thermite. It’s amazing what metal can achieve when it works together.

      Yeah but like, in order to get significant amounts of it you gotta be in a relatively harsh environment.

      source
      • Olhonestjim@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You get a lot of it at sea. Not supposed to polish it off though, because the aluminum oxide acts as a barrier to further corrosion, whereas iron oxide flakes and continually exposes fresh surface.

    You should sneak into his garage in the night and sabotage all his aluminum ingots by hitting them with a hammer until they crack. When he tries to sneak into your garage to get revenge, he’ll wear out his hammer because your iron ingots are superior. That’ll show him.

      Wouldn’t they just bend? Aluminum is very flexible.

      source
      • PenisWenisGenius@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        They’d bend a little but they would eventually crack. Aluminum ingots don’t bend like aluminum foil does.

    aluminum actually corrodes quicker, but it oxidizes to a layer of aluminum oxide that seals out air and water, whereas iron has a permeable oxide that lets air and water get to the iron under the oxide. So in practice it doesn’t rust nearly as fast as iron
