A lustrous white metal with a low density, good strength, is easily fabricated, and has excellent corrosion resistance (almost as resistant as platinum). Much lighter than steel, but of comparable strength to many intermediate/high strength low alloy steels, it is heavier than aluminium but more than twice as strong. It is essentially non-magnetic (paramagnetic) and has very low electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity.
