Steelium

(this is a joke, do not take it seriously)
Steelium, is an alloy/amalgamation of Osmium, Tungsten, Aluminum, and Iron

Usually made during double-heated thermite reactions. This causes mostly everything to swirl together.
Oxides need to be stripped away from this mixture, otherwise it turns into a pile of useless slag.

Steelium is about 1.4 times stronger than steel, though a little more than thrice as heavy.
Steelium has a melting point of about 2300 C°, while if it was made improperly, it would be around 1800 C°.
Steelium's tensile strength is however, the same or maybe slightly less than steel.

Found through intentional mixing of 2 very dense metals using a thermite reaction.
guy 1: steelium is great
guy 2: what is, "steelium"
guy 1: cool metal, its pretty heavy too, has a slightly high melting point.
guy 2: wowzers
guy 3: steelium is kinda brittle too
guy 2: ok cool

Get the Steelium mug.
