Is titanium the hardest or is stainless steel the hardest?

Titanium is usually an alloy just like aluminum. It is impossible to harden a titanium alloy beyond Rockwell C in the mid 40s. Most knives are also alloys of steel. Usually stainless steel and heat treated to a hardness of high 50s to low 60s. But a sword needs to treated to the low 50s because of the shock they will receive from a strike. The answer is to use a titanium alloy coating over steel to give hardness while limiting brittleness. Titanium alloys such as titanium-carbide, titanium-nitride or titanium-carbo-nitride (black coating) can be used. An example would be the gold drill bits. They are usually titanium alloy or more commonly a tungsten alloy. These alloys can reach a hardness of Rockwell C 85, but when used as a coating, it merely allows the blade to hold an edge and does not strengthen the overall structure. Although a full titanium alloy blade would be possible, it must consist of a softer inner core. This would not strenghthen the blade but would reduce weight.


How Oxidation reactions is harmful effect for daily life?

Many metals are chemically active elements and get easily affected by substances like moisture, air, acids, etc. One must have observed iron articles that are shiny when new, but get coated with a reddish brown powder when left for some time. This process is commonly known as rusting of iron. The problem with iron (as well as many other metals) is that oxidation takes place and the oxide formed does not firmly adhere to the surface of the metal causing it to flake off easily. This eventually causes structural weakness and disintegration of the metal. When a metal is attacked by substances around it, it is said to corrode and this process is called corrosion. Corrosion causes deterioration of essential properties in a material. What happens to copper vessels or artifacts when exposed to air and water? They slowly get tarnished by acquiring a thin green oxide layer. Similarly, silver quickly acquires a thin black oxide coating in moist air. The heaviest metal lead also tarnishes in moist weather. The black coating on silver and the green coating on copper are examples of corrosion in which the oxides formed strongly bond to the surface of the metal, preventing the surface from further exposure to oxygen and consequently slowing down corrosion.

Why is it when a piece of copper is folded squashed and heated in air only the outside of the copper is black?

The black coating you see is a coating of copper oxide, which forms when the hot metal reacts with air. no air can reach the inside, so it does not react to form black copper oxide.
