Osmium is a hard, brittle, blue-gray metal, and the densest stable element—about twice as dense as lead. The density of osmium is slightly greater than that of iridium ; the two are so similar (22.587 versus 22.562 g/cm 3 at 20 °C) that each was at one time considered to be the densest element.
Osmium is a hard but brittle metal that remains lustrous even at high temperatures. It has a very low compressibility. Correspondingly, its bulk modulus is extremely high, reported between 395 and 462 GPa, which rivals that of diamond (443 GPa). The hardness of osmium is moderately high at 4 GPa.
Inside roof of an arc furnace, showing its three electrodes Tapping an open-hearth furnace, 1967 1913 Halcomb Steel Company advertisement. A number of steel companies have operated in Syracuse, maintaining Crucible's intellectual property and patents. [7] In 1870, William A. Sweet founded the Sweet Iron Works.
The ductile failure model of Lynch [17] and Popovich [18] predicted that adsorption of the liquid metal leads to the weakening of atomic bonds and nucleation of dislocations, which move under stress, pile up and work harden the solid. Also, dissolution helps in the nucleation of voids which grow under stress and cause ductile failure.

Physically, these metals are soft (or brittle), have poor mechanical strength, and usually have melting points lower than those of the transition metals. Being close to the metal-nonmetal border , their crystalline structures tend to show covalent or directional bonding effects, having generally greater complexity or fewer nearest neighbours ...
