Valamitin (val-am-ite-en)
(Otherwise known as adamantine.)
Properties
Material Characteristics
Dull, metallic, and smooth, solid at room temperature. It is the same temperature to the touch as the surrounding environment.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Extremely hard, only persistent diamond or another piece of valamitin can scratch it. It is, however, quite brittle, and because of this is usually used in alloys instead of in its pure form. It has the second highest melting temperature, only lower than tungsten. It is not a very good conductor of electricity, and has roughly a similar heat conductivity as tungsten.
Compounds
An alloy is made from valamitin, titanium, and nathlesin for use in armor, weaponry, and essential foundations. Exceptionally wear-resistant and durable, this alloy is also quite expensive due to the relative rarity of two of its component metals and because of the difficulty in forging.
Life & Expiration
All known isotopes of this metal are stable.
