It's worth noting here that iron and bronze are pretty much identical in hardness. The iron age was revolutionary because of the massively higher availability of iron ore, not because its properties were an improvement.
Weapons made from light metals like titanium and mithril are not good. Weight is a very important part of good weapon damage. Also titanium holds an edge poorly (I understand).
Mithril might be ideal to create finesse versions of weapons, such as the ‘Elfsword’ or ‘Elfblade’ (finesse longsword), for the High Elf fighting style.
Mithril might make a good finesse piercing weapon (weight still helps with piercing), but cutting weapons really need weight to maintain their damage.
