I agree.
Again, is it "true adamantium"?
Because if it is, this would be a first. You understand Marvel has NEVER had Wolverine's kind of adamantium break. Ever.
Any time of it happening was quickly retconned as "secondary".

It is a pretty cool feat.

Question: We know the durability of metal depends on its thickness. The walls were plated with adamantium. Plating is usually thin (less than 1/4 inch).
What's the greatest durability feat by adamantium and how thick was it at the time of that particular feat?
We need to start quantifying adamantium. Vibranium is definitely weaker.
None of what you said applies to adamantium, though.

I'm going to save this quote for a later date.

Considering how many times they've been stated and shown to be honed keen enough to slice through damn near anything with little to no effort, yeah, they'd have to be.

Correct, as confirmed by Hudson himself:
And Hudson and Department H sure did their research on them:
Originally posted by DarkSaint85Vibranium is weaker yes, but it's properties (of absorbing energy) mean that you have to take that into account.
Cap's shield is often written (both on panel in actual comics and in handbooks' detailed descriptions) as an adamantium-vibranium mix.
It's a mistake, technically, as Cap's shield predated adamantium:
Still, Marvel is not exactly known for their consistency when it comes to that subject.
What I'm trying to say is... it's entirely possible that Aaron wanted those thick doors to be as tough as Cap's shield... 😐
Either that... or it's yet another relatively low quality alloy (Alberto just posted a nice example). It's up for readers to decide, I guess.

If it breaks, it's usually a safe bet it's "lesser adamantium", e.g. secondary.
Adamantium Beta, actually.
As Wolverine's healing factor induced a change in True Adamantium.
But if anything, that only makes Wolverine's adamantium more indestructible than the real deal, going by feats.
People get adamantium wrong all the time.
"True" is just an accident that occurred while trying to replicate Cap's shield (which isnt adamantium at all but a vibranium/steel alloy with a mystery ingredient...this alloy is sometimes called Proto).
Logan has "Beta" which is just "true" that's combined with his physiology.
Secondary is the one they made up to explain the instances in which the supposedly unbreakable had been broken.

Stilt can correct me on this if I'm wrong but Wolverine doesn't have the same adamantium in him that he started off with. The adamantium that is in his body is the adamantium that was on Cyber arms. The same adamantium that Apocalypse injected into Sabertooth.
Cyber had most of his skin covered with adamantium, not just his arms. His only vulnerable areas (that we know of) were his jaw and eyes. Even his f*cking testicles appeared to be protected by adamantium... I'm serious.
Anyway, Genesis tried to bond Wolverine's skeleton with Cyber's adamantium and failed, as Wolverine's healing factor forcefully expelled the adamantium, resulting in a massive shrapnel damage to the Dark Riders.
I don't remember what was Apocalypse's/Creed's source of adamantium. Don't think it was shown on panel.
But when Nur made Wolverine his horseman, he deprived Sabretooth of adamantium and gave it to Wolverine.

So first we had Weapon X, then we had Apocalypse... and now it's Forge who does that job, under Xavier's orders:
