which metals have a higher density than steel? and how does the density compare to steel( example: tungsten carbide is 2x [i think] more dense than steel.)
Look at a periodic table of the elements. The atomic weights are a guide to density. Tungsten is denser than tungsten carbide because it doesn't contain carbon. Also denser than steel are gold, lead, platinum, and a number of other metals. Steel is iron combined with lighter elements, so iron is denser than steel.
