Hello!
Is there a metallic material that can have the elasticity properties of a rubber band?
Thanks!

mather said:I want metal's properties regarding their behaviour to temperature, to magnetism, to strength and that can be fairly unbreakable

Okay, then... no two metals have the same properties in regard to all of those fields, so your first step should be to choose which one best suits your requirements. Once you've done that, it will be possible to try to figure out something about integrating those properties into a flexible medium. (I don't anticipate success, but there's no harm in trying.)

The Almighty Google search "metal rubber" produces copious links.

What annoys you exactly?Danger said:Rather than start a new thread about a different non-existent material every 5 minutes, why don't you just tell us what the hell you're trying to achieve all in one big question? This is becoming annoying.
Metal rubber, also known as elastic metallic material, is a unique material that combines the properties of both metal and rubber. It is a composite material that contains metal particles embedded in a rubber matrix, giving it the elasticity of rubber and the strength and conductivity of metal.
Metal rubber is typically made through a process called metal injection molding, where metal particles and a rubber binder are mixed together and then injected into a mold. The mold is then heated and cooled to create a solid, elastic material.
Metal rubber has a wide range of potential applications, including in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and healthcare. It can be used for shock absorption, vibration dampening, electrical connections, and more.
Metal rubber offers several advantages over traditional materials. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. It also has excellent conductivity, can withstand extreme temperatures, and is highly flexible and durable.
One of the main challenges in the development of metal rubber is finding the right balance between the amount of metal and rubber in the composite. Too much metal can make the material too rigid, while too much rubber can make it too soft. Another challenge is finding cost-effective production methods for mass production.
