Could Adamantium actually exist ?

Could Adamantium actually exist ??

The five materials which have come close to resembling the fictional metal from the Marvel Universe- Adamantium........

Here are some materials which have come close to resembling Adamantium

1) Titanium

Not only light weight but a very strong material. Titanium uses in the modern world are endless, from Aerospace industries to pipes to artificial knee joints......
Titanium is as strong as steel and really light.
Problem with Titanium......

It is very hard to extract from its natural ore. Which also is very expensive.



2) Tungsten 

This hard, dense and strong metal not only resembles the qualities of Adamantium but also has the highest melting point at around 3422 C. It would be the best metal to resemble Adamantium (also has a nice color too...).

Problem with Tungsten.........

It can be attacked by Oxygen and other gasses. If we ever had the technology to put Tungsten in Wolverine his bones and claws would react with the water in his blood !




3) Graphene
 Graphene the single atom thick layer of carbon atoms is really strong and flexible.This allotrope of carbon could be world changing in the coming years.








 4) Liquid metal


 There is a company called Liquid metal which produce an amorphous alloy of three metals (Beryllium, Zirconium, Titanium, Copper, Aluminium......only three at once). Its 2 times stronger than Titanium ......
Its used in cellphones currently....

Problem with Liquid metal
ITS MOLDABLE . Liquid metal is moldable and flexible. SO much for indestructibility.......LOL



AND FINALLY THE CLOSEST THING TO ADAMANTIUM IS........

5) Modumetal

 Modumetal is the next generation of steel. By using electroplating to coat metals and make them stronger , Modumetal is the closest we have come to Adamantium....

This is short video from is from Modumetal.com
