This is more of a curiosity type question rather than something that I am about to do so please do not savage me for suggesting something stupid here.
I realise I am a complete novice and really need to get some standard compositions under my belt before trying to invent anything new quite just yet.
However

I was wondering how some other powdered elemental substances perform as there are several others that are never mentioned that I am curious to know about.
I am sure I am not the first to have thought about trying these and anything of any merit would be mentioned frequently unless the experimenter vapourised himself before he could pass the info on.

The elements in question are:
Nickel powder
Chromium powder
Cobalt powder
Molybdenum powder
Copper powder (this is probably reasonable)
Indium powder (violet?)
Tantalum powder
Tungsten powder (probably too high a mp)
All of these are available at not too prohibitive a cost.
Just curious really and could anyone advise please.
Thanks people.
