  Vibranium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vibranium is a fictional metal found in the Marvel Universe.
Vibranium absorbs all vibrations from kinetic sources such as bullets and punches.
The Antarctic variety of vibranium produces, rather than absorbs, vibrations; these vibrations liquify all metals that come into contact with the substance, up to and including the otherwise indestructible metal known as adamantium.

 Vibranium
Vibranium is a rarely occurring metallic substance that exists in two related forms.
The first type, Wakandan Vibranium, is found only in the isolated African kingdom, and the existence of this material has been kept hidden for many years.
The second type, Antarctic Vibranium, was found only in the Antarctic territory commonly called the "Savage Land." Both forms provide strength equal to that of solid stone or volcanic rock (Incredible material strength).

Vibranium is a rare, naturally occurring metallic substance, theorized to be of extraterrestrial origin, which exists in two forms.
A fraction of the sacred mound of Wakandan Vibranium was apparently converted to Antarctic Vibranium by particle bombardment.
Moreover, Vibranium could not be an element with a higher atomic weight than any known elements, since it is not radioactive as the elements with the highest atomic weights are.

 Captain America's Shield - MarvelDatabase
Made out of a unique mixture of vibranium and adamantium, the shield is practically indestructible.
It is as much an offensive weapon as a defensive one for Captain America, and he uses it against his enemies mainly by throwing it at them and can perform mind-bogglingly impossible tricks with it.
It was once broken on Battleworld (The artificial planet created by the Beyonder) and also repaired there; however, this left a tiny weakness in the shield, causing it to shatter later.

 Marvel Heroes Classic Roleplaying Game - Marvel RPG
There are limits to the capacity of Vibranium to absorb vibratory energy, although the exact extent of these limits has not yet been determined.
Whereas Wakandan Vibranium absorbs vibratory energy into its molecular bond, Antarctic Vibranium, through a means that is not yet understood, emanates vibrations, which cause the atomic molecular bonds in nearby metals of other kinds to weaken.
If huge quantities of Antarctic Vibranium were gathered together, at some unknown point the accumulated mass would be so great that the vibrations given off by the entire mass would increase logarithmically as more Vibranium was added.

Vibranium, a rare metal with unique scientific properties, is the core of Wakanda's high-tech economy.
For example, the Vibranium micro-weave bodysuit protects him from gunfire by absorbing the momentum of the bullets that come into contact with it; the Vibranium soles of his boots absorb sound and impact, enabling him to move silently, leap from great heights without injury, and run up vertical surfaces.
Also, Captain America's shield was manufactured by Stark International from an alloy of Vibranium and Adamantium (the same metal that laces Wolverine's skeleton and forms his retractable claws).

During his experiments, MacLain combined Vibranium with an Adamantium-steel alloy he was working with and created the disc-shaped shield.
MacLain was never able to duplicate the process due to his inability identify a still unknown factor that played a role in it.
It's how it's always been presented to me. Vibranium is not indestructible and probably couldn't have withstood a full out attempted crushing by the Hulk without the Adamantium alloy included.

Vibranium is the name of two unique metals, each with their own vibrational properties.
Wakandan vibranium is found only in the African nation of Wakanda, most likely from a meteor that struck there untold millions of years ago.
This makes vibranium useful in numerous scientific and technical areas, and Wakanda's economy depends heavily on its control of the vibranium supply (which a number of criminals, including Klaw, the Master of Sound, have attempted to steal).

Well, I'm no metallurgist, but here's what further investigations reveal: vibranium absorbs "vibratory energy", whereas Antarctic vibranium produces vibrations, ones that weaken the atomic bonds of nearby metals, reducing them to a liquid state.
I would presume that this automatically means that any sort of metal will be unable to pierce Antarctic vibranium (though, I wonder what its effect would be on regular vibranium).
As for non-metallic objects, I suppose that the hardness of of Antarctic vibranium is the same as that of regular vibranium, which is, in fact, quite hard.

Demigawd mentioned in the vs. post once that Joseph (clone of Magneto) was able to control Captain America's shield and with all the upgrades I keep hearing of Magneto, he should also have no trouble now.

I prefer the other origin where the metal was from a meteroite miraculously mixed with Vibranium.
Captain America's only weapon is his Vibranium shield, a concave disk 2 1/2 feet in diameter that weighs 12 pounds.

Como resultado, un trozo de vibranium que haya absorbido una gran cantidad de energía vibratoria sería extremadamente difícil de pulverizar.
Mientras que el vibranium de Wakanda absorber energía vibratoria en las moléculas de su interior, el vibranium Antártico, por medios desconocidos, emana vibraciones que debilitan y rompen los enlaces moleculares de todo metal que se encuentre a su alrededor.
Los límites del vibranium son desconocidos todavía, así, el vibranium de Wakanda ha sido capaz de absorber la energía del sonido de una poderosa explosión, mientras que el vibranium Antártico, ha sido capaz de destruir incluso el Adamantium, el metal más duro conocido.
