The metal with the highest Tensile strength is Steel. Steel can be hardened to make it stronger than plain iron or low grade steels. However, high-strength, hardened steels can be quite brittle and will snap like glass when it fails.

Titanium is a strong metal for its density. Titanium is 1/3 the density of steel so it has a high strength to weight ratio. Aluminum is even lighter and is weaker. Engineers select the metal that has the strength and weight that is required for their design.

Carbon fiber is a stronger material than steel. And some scientists have demonstrated that a spider's thread is stronger than anything.
