What metal would be best for armor?

if somone would create an exoskeleton what would be the best armor for it something strong and lightweight and also is there anything that stronger than bullet proof glass that you can see through

Answer:
Unobtainum is undoubtedly the best material for this kind of project, imagianium is also quite good.

But actually this has allready been done, The M1 Abrams main battle tank (about as close to a practical "exoskeleton" current technology can archive) reportedly uses composite armor consisting of steel and ceramics, plus some depleted uranium (not exactly lightweight). To be sure, this is not what you mean by "exoskeleton", but for your version, see first paragraph.

steel.
Even bullet proof glass is not impervious to a bomb

as far as weight and strength Graphite would be the best, we once had a 12 inch square peice of graphite 1/4 inch thick, that a friend's mom gave us (from a helicopter plant) to try and damage when we were teenagers, we could not, though we did manage to scratch it by running over it with our cars while it was uncentered on a large rock, other than that it was very durable. it was a woven, and coated sample.

An alloy of steel, vanadium and uranium would be the best armour. The army uses uranium in their tanks. For light weight, there are carbon fiber materials being developed and already developed.

The military uses a top secret form of ceramic tile which is the most lightweight and strongest. For seethrough idk of anything.

its called adimatium

i don't think metal is the answer for that even so i thing strong aluminium alloy is the best metal (it's quite strong and light enough) it's used in aeronautics, automobiles and motorcycles industry. that's a low cost solution but I'm sure there must be some special alloys for stuff like this. But for this issue i thing kevlar+teflon in a briliant architecture should be great

kevlar, i believe thats what they use for bullet proof vests.

probably no metal, some kind of kevlar/carbon fiber etc laminate wound be better

If you like metal, use titanium. Is more light than steel. The density of steel is 7,85 g/cm3 and titanium is 4,5 g/cm3. And titanium is very resilient.
If you like plastics, use Kevlar - the police jacket is made with kevlar fiber.
