Subject: [TN] NTC - Friday Element Quiz

Hi folks! Ok, its Friday so its time for another element quiz:

The Question:
        I am a ductile BCC metal and one of the few BCC metals that  has

no ductile-to-brittle transition. My elemental name is part of Greek 
mythology.

Bonus Points: 
        Name this metal's greatest attribute and its melting temperature

rank with respect to all of the metals.


I am pretty sure that everyone will be able with some sleuthing to
figure 
out which element but the hard part of the question is getting the bonus

points!

Good luck and again  this week, the winner will get to claim Doug's
desk.
