Uru enchanted or not is still a MYSTICAL metal.
It's magical by itself.And beings like Odin can put further enhancements in it.Mjolnir was destroyed only when used against the likes of the Celestials and the combined might of 4 hammers of the same levels which caused it to get broke in half.
Adamantium is nothing compared to it.
Thor can rend to pieces adamantium anydays, but then Ultron wouldn't be the team wrecker he deserves to be, so he gets hard time with him.
Thor once carved Uru simply by shoving his finger into a lump of the stuff and making a square. I have yet to see him do the same to Wolvie's Skeleton.

adamantium is the second hardest substance behind cap's shield. uru might be next, but i don't think it's really ever been stated to be anything more than 'really hard' . . .
Thors hammer has been destoryed atleast twice???? once when he blew it apart fighting a celestial. and once somewhere in volume 2, somewhere in the first 20 issues ( i can find out the exact issue number but it will take some time). this however wasnt from a celestial power level being.... it was from an odin level being (shown to be well below celestials).
uru has also been melted down to slag. but, this was also from a celestial level being.
uru isnt all that hard. it just has the ability to hold enchantments. the enchantments are what make it strong.
adamantium to my knowledge has never been shown on panel to be broken?????? atleast without being retconned away. so i'd vote for it.
Uru, the unenchanted form, is not as durable as adamantium.
When Odin removed the enchantments from Mjolnir so that Thor could fight the Hulk HTH, Thor feared that the Hulk would be able to destroy the hammer because its enchantments were removed. (JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #112) Thor believed himself at least the Hulk's physical equal at the time so logically he must think he is able to destroy unenchanted uru.
(BTW, Thor's carving of uru has gotten exaggerated a bit. It was a cliffside that contained some uru, not a cliff of pure uru.)
Between Mjolnir and adamantium, I don't believe there's any way to conclusively prove which of the two is more durable. But the topic doesn't specify Mjolnir so I'm saying adamantium.
