      Hi, I make my metal bones from a titanium alloy, this means that it is mainly titanium with a little bit of other things, I have aluminium and vandium mixed with my titanium.
      The metal bones are stronger than human bones, they can be much stronger but it isn’t really necessary and if you make them too strong then that means they can’t do other stuff you want. You do want them a bit stronger than bone though because they cannot self repair it is probably better that your real bone breaks than the metal one because your real bones can self repair.
