Um, I dunno, what *is* the strongest metal? (googling quickly, thinking I can’t say Adamantium because Wolverine isn’t real, and neither is Adamantium, quick stop thinking about superheroes….)
Ok! PopSci.com suggests there is a metallic glass that is stronger than any other known material, here: https://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-01/new-metallic-glass-toughest-strongest-material-yet – very strong, but also very hard to break. The article has some great examples of things that can be strong but still brittle, like a ceramic mug – it handles hot or cold water just fine, but if you drop it on a hard floor it’ll shatter. Apparently this metallic glass is better than that!
