What's your favourite metal or alloy?

[loic2003]

The alkaline metals? Titanium? Platinum? Mercury?

Which is it, and why?

 

[MetalMat]

Mercury is the shiznit! Without it we would freeze or burn to death cause you could not tell the temperature of anything!

 

[PingSpike]

Titanium. Its capable of withstanding intense heat, is strong and doesn't weigh a lot.

 

[StrangerGuy]

Gold pwns you.

Aluminium....soo versatile, cheap, plus, anodizable for coolness.

 

[SVT Cobra]

Aluminum: cheap, strong enough for most uses, and very easy to machine (except for tapping threads, which is an occasional annoyance).

Yeah, I like aluminum too. Its the perfect metal for so many applications.

IMO, it's a titanium VS Aluminium battle. The thing is, titanium isn't cheap like aluminium, but it does have major advantages. Also, I think titanium is not as conductive as aluminium.

I think that Aluminium wins where price matters, and where it doesn't Titanum wins.

 

[George P Burdell]

I voted titanium, but mercury is also cool

Dont forget steel! It's stronger than aluminium and cheaper than titanium.

 

[YetioDoom]

Mercury. Gotta love liquid metal.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Titanium, because that's what most of my bikes are made of!

True, steel ranks just below Aluminiums and Titanium in my book. Steel's high weight and aluminium's superior conductivity gives Aluminium the win in my book.

IMO....

Aluminium > Titanium > Steel > copper > gold > silver > mercury > platinum > lead

w00t, another vote for steel!

Stainless Steel because it polishes well and does not rust.

I always thought Kirstie Alloy was pretty hot until she balloned up to the size of 2 defensive linemen.
