Looks like regular steel to me. Maybe an engine part.

thanks... the metal is heat resistant. cant be cut by oxyacetylene torch... the cut portion at the side is where we cut a sample using a grinder... not sure if the lab result here in the phils. is accurate. they say its 50% thullium

I agree with Admin., we encounter already that kind of metal which is a part of sunk ship...the same story it is heat resistant...maybe part of an engine...

I seriously doubt Thulium,

The higher the nickel content of steel, the harder it is to cut with a torch.  Probably a high nickel content steel.

It's still a money if you sell it to a junk shop. There is no special on that, just a piece of crane joint for hoisting mega loads. Just my piece of observation.

     I wouldn't sell that metal to a Junk Shop. That metal has a TM mark and TM means Thulium and it is a rare metal and the price of Thulium is $40 to $50 per gram. That is worth some money and you said it is about 100 kilos. Hopefully you still have it.

if true that it's 50% Thullium and sir Thunter said it is selling at least $40 a gram. then you would be $2,000,000 richer!
