Tungsten Stronger

Consider Tungsten Carbide, WCZ=74+6, density 15.6gcm3, molar mass  195.85gmol1

vboom=3.4354densityZ

vboom=3.435415.610374+6=669.90ms1

and,

Tboom=v2rmsMolarmass38.3144

Tboom=669.902195.8510338.3144=3523.67K=3250.52oC

also,

Tp=v2rmsMolarmass28.3144

Tp=669.902195.8510328.3144=5285.51K=5012.35oC

which is a very high temperature, but might just anneal tungsten doped with carbon to even greater strength.

Unfortunately, Osmium Carbide, OsC does not occur naturally.
