"Asgardian metal" is a general term for the denser, stronger metals of Asgard. (As seen in AOS) NOT ALL ASGARDIAN ITEMS ARE MADE WITH URU as it is VERY RARe and almost IMPOSSIBLE to work. Only specialty items like Mjolnir.

Well some metals could be warped by hand or "cold welded" in all incarnations the Frost giants have been vulnerable to heat. Hence the conclusion that the lack of metal artifacts, tool and weapons being used by the Jotun may be due to this. The ability to manipulate ice that is obviously stronger then steel would also add to the lack of metal artifacts.

The Frost giants of the movieverse are not the lumbering fantasy galoots of the cartoons and comics. They are seen using a wormhole in the beginning of the Thor movie to reach Midgard. FACT. How? Unknown, likely the power of the Casket but not for certain. Any race bent on conquering the nine realsm would require considerable technology, especially to be considered any threat to the Asgardians, rather then just sharp pointy things.

In the game I observed Frost Giants using mech like suits of ice, and sending in small looking ice creatures to distract Thor. The resolution was pretty bad but the first one was obvious, it was a giant ice robot like thing out of which a Frost Giant came after Thor smashed it. Case in point.
