Most metal borides are hard; [41] however, a few stand out among them for their particularly high hardnesses (for example, WB 4, [42] [43] RuB 2, OsB 2 and ReB 2). These metal borides are still metals and not semiconductors or insulators (as indicated by their high electronic density of states at the Fermi Level ); however, the additional ...
The jewelry industry makes rings of sintered tungsten carbide, tungsten carbide/metal composites, and also metallic tungsten. [76] WC/metal composite rings use nickel as the metal matrix in place of cobalt because it takes a higher luster when polished. Sometimes manufacturers or retailers refer to tungsten carbide as a metal, but it is a ...

Atlas Stones – 5 Stones weighing 120–200 kg (264–441 lb) in 17.54 seconds (2017 Europe's Strongest Man) (World Record) [28] [75] Fastest Atlas Stone run (with the heavy set) in strongman history, including one-motioning all five stones, it is generally considered the greatest and the most impressive stone run of all time.
In subsequent years, replicas of varying weights and sizes of the stone were made and used in strongman competitions all over the world. [6] [4] For the 1998 World's Strongest Man in Morocco, they used a similar replica which weighed 173 kg (381 lb). Magnus Samuelsson won the event by carrying it 79.7 metres (261 ft 5 in) in the designed linear ...

He came into the 1991 contest as the reserve and ended up winning the show ...
I’d seen Best lift a 1,450-pound Viking ship mast on his back and raise 2,791 pounds from the ground using just his legs, beating three guys more than a decade younger than him on the History ...
