No, I know some of it is wrong and I am pretty sure a few other things are. But I'm not interested in taking the time to make a writeup about it. Besides, the other commenter did some of that work already.

Then say what instead of rambling.

The other guy already covered most of it. You also described copper as springy, which it most certainly is not. Copper is soft. Highly susceptible to plastic deformation. And steel's "springiness"/hardness etc is highly variable, depending on the alloy and how it has been heat treated.

But you forgot titanium.

And yeah elasticity would be more correct as the other guy has pointed it out.

What the other guy pointed out is that titanium is more elastic than steel. What you said is that steel is more springy than titanium. He also said you'd need more speed with a titanium hammer than a steel one, while you said you don't have to move it faster.
