What is the best metal and why is it copper.
>inb4 something not copper
i can't disagree
>>710152481
depleted uranium, carbon steel, titanium, gold, silver, aluminum.
these are all better than copper
Everyone knows diamond is the best (and hardest) metal.

Copper has bactericidal properties along with brass.
>>710152767
But you see nothing is more useful and practical than copper.
>can conduct electricity very well
>is somewhat affordable

nice trips though
>>710153113
you're entitled to your opinions
iron since it's used in steel which is the backbone of modern civilization.
copper is only good cause of conductivity and copper oxide looks like diarhea
>>710153113
aluminum is just as good as copper for electrical circuits
>>710153336

What makes copper so great?
>>710152481
Gold is the best conductor and it doesn't rust.
What about alloys. They are multi elemental metals
>>710153113
>affordable
poors please go
The best Metal is 1.4404 (The high quality stainlees steel)
>>710153706
Copper is much cheaper
Hmmm you might be right we copper. Silver sill beat copper on everything but price.
>>710153504
It would look better in copper or any metallic color.

Nitric acid kills the copper.....stainless steel is the winner
>>710153958
As far as oxides go, copper is probably the best.
>>710152481
The best metal is plutonium.
Know why? Because it's going to end this fucked up world some day, that's why.
>>710152481
Brass.
>>710153113
>kills bacteria
source on that?
isnt it silver what kills bacteria?
>>710154110
alloy fag go away
>>710152481
Let's go tungsten!
>>710153085
So does silver, silver is also a better conductor
>>710153875
Yes and it takes an unpleasant color when it rusts. It makes ugly roofs.
OP is sadly mistaken.
>>710153875
>choosing to pay $2.22/lb of Cu when you could pay $1,289/t oz of Au

>>710153706
silver is a better conductor than gold
Wrong its gallium. It literally melts in you hand.
Indium is cool to since it's so soft you can bite out a piece if it.
Aluminum is not better for electrical circuits compared to copper. AL is a bit tricky to work with. A small nick on an AL wire or strand and its considered compromised because ot can rasily break off. Copper is less prone to this. It is cheaper in cost and weighs considerably less than copper.
Just my two cents... from a master electrotictacian

>>710154464
alloy faggot fuck off.

>>710154242
That colour is sought after by many. Look at the parliament buildings in Canada and England, look at the statue of liberty. It makes a nice green colour that coats the entire surface in a durable material that doesn't break down or keep rusting under it.
Unlike iron, copper oxide sticks to the surface and becomes very durable and it doesn't flake off and eat through.

false, fact aluminum is not just as good. Evidence to back my fact, the circular mils of aluminum has to be bigger than circular mils of cooper to conduct the same amount of current.

But it takes forever to form on copper. Can Copper Oxide be produced into liquid and formed, or is it too brittle to be it's own material or can you not do that?
>>710155903
i doubt copper oxide adheres very well to itself
>>710154183

>>710156698
Except it's a mediocre conductor compared to other metals
>>710152481
I am a total retard when it comes to science, but somehow every single thing made of copper looks like garbage after some time. I know that silver needs to be cleaned once in a while, but at least it looks great, gold is always nice and shiny, but everything from copper statues, to heating pipes to wires looks like absolute crap. What's wrong with copper really, is that normal, or it's just crude industrial process to save money?
Iron oxide and aluminum powder make the best metal...
>the molten kind that cuts steel beams.
>>710160921
You may be mistaking brass for copper but yes copper does look terrible tarnished.

I have advanced degrees in metalology, metalonomy, and metal american studies, and I can definitivly say that rose gold is the best metal, followed close behind by chromium steel.

Fuller thought that chrome was the metal of the future. Why was he wrong?
>>710153085
inb4 brass is made from cooper
>>710163044
9 chrome is best chrome.
>>710152481
Stainless steel best metal (if you touch it, clean it or eat of it).
>>710152481

Intedasting. Can metals also form covalent bonds?

Nice numbers, but because its so hard, all of the energy from the bullet doesn't get absorbed, and its instead transferred to you. The bullet won't actually penetrate you, but the concussive force will break you
>>710165404
Hydrogen has never been seen in a solid state.
And also, metals have random closed packing.
that's hardly a crystal
>>710165555
Because its too heavy. 1 gram of diamond weighs something like 15 grams.

>science, bitch
>>710152777
Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 9000 wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 9000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not the hardest metal known to man. Faggots

All these claims that Cu is antibiotic is incorrect. Ag in colloidal form is a heavy metal that kills bacteria by preventing protein function.
C is not a fucking metal, rendering diamond a nonmetal.
Oh, and the best metal depends on the properties you are looking for.
