Why doesn't Iron Man use Vibranium to build his armor?

[00:00:00]Why doesn't Iron Man use vibranium to build his armor? Is it too expensive even for Tony Stark? Or did Black Panther simply refuse to sell it to him?

[00:00:06]The answer is actually quite simple.

[00:00:08]Tony is a man who always looks ahead and never settles for the [music] armor he already has. He lives by one rule. The next suit is always better than the current one. He constantly refines his designs, patching every flaw [music] along the way. In Iron Man 1, Tony discovered that his steel alloy armor would freeze at altitudes of 10,000 m.

[00:00:22]And the moment he landed, he switched materials and [music] rebuilt it using a gold titanium alloy. Then in Captain America: Civil War, Ant-Man's [music] infiltration fried his armor's weapon system in an instant. In the ensuing fight against Cap and [music] the Winter Soldier, he also realized they had been targeting his energy reactor the entire time. Tony wasted no time and switched to a nanotech suit, solving the problems of exposed gaps and a vulnerable reactor at their root. If that Civil War were to break out again with a nanotech [music] suit that powerful, Tony would never suffer the same defeat. With such a remarkable suit at his disposal, vibranium simply stops mattering to him.

[00:00:53]Tony has the finest research and development capabilities in the world, and he knows all too well the fatal weakness of vibranium. The moment it is hit by a sonic attack, it locks up and becomes completely useless, leaving the wearer with no protection whatsoever.

[00:01:04]Tony is a perfectionist through and through, and he would never choose a material with such a catastrophic flaw.
