      Tungsten is the strongest natural metal. Steel is stronger but steel is made from iron which is a metal and carbon which is a non-metal. This mix of elements makes a compound that is stronger than tungsten. These metals have different strengths because their atoms are different sizes and form different bonds other atoms
