Addressing potential Anti-feats
The Battle between Corvus Glaive and Vision
Before we get into the feats for vibranuim let’s start with addressing and debunking these “anti-feats”(more like misconceptions) like Corvus stabbing vision
Some people see this as an anti-feat for Vision and vibranuim respectfully when in actuality it is just a feat for Courvus’s spear and not an anti feat. Courvus’s spear has never been shown to struggle or been unable to pierce there anything lesser then vibranuim, plus his spear is made out of an unknown alien metal and we’ve seen from other species that there are metals comparable if not outright superior to vibranuim such as uru metal for example from the Asgardians. I also highly doubt the Russos wouldn’t use an extermaly powerful weapon to pierce through a constantly strong metal and one of the most powerful characters in the MCU. We also see that Thanos used Corvus Glaive's glaive to kill Heimdall who was better physicals than Corvus does himself, and to put the finally nail in the coffin it has even been shown to block and deflect a mind stone blasts
Captain America's Shield and Black Panther
Now to get these feats started off even early on in the MCU we saw Captain America's shield no-sale's a hit from Mjonir (noted this is a blow delivered from pre-awakened Thor) an impressive feat for the Vibranium shield even early on in the verse. Moving forward into another phase with the introduction of T'Challa and Wakanda technologies that Black Panther is capable scratching Cap's shield with vibranium claws showing that vibranium is in fact relative or equal. We also see much later on that Black panther is capable of surviving a blow to the head from Thanos’s sword in his Vibranium suit and getting up as if nothing happened. Even before this we see Mjolnir Cap using the shield along with Mjonir to combo against Thanos, he wouldn't be casual ( as he's moving to save Thor and stop a near bloodlusted Thanos) so that's the Shield tanking a 6-C attack it's also worth noting Thanos was bruised and bloodied after this assault. It's also worth noting that even now we rate Captain America's Shield like this "At most Island level with Vibranium Shield (Endured multiple attacks from Thanos, who could only destroy half of the shield with his helicopter blade after multiple strikes)" which further goes to show Vibranium being relative. This is a bit of a smaller scale feat but still worth noting that Vibranium Wings and Shield allowed Sam(Captain America) to no-sale and absorb the impact of a crashing Helicopeter without even flinching.
Ryan Meinerding, the Head of Marvel Studio's Visual Department, shared some initial concept art of Thanos fully destroying Cap's shield yesterday. Today, he shared an additional piece of the same scene and elaborated on how it would have worked. Marvel fans know that the shield is made of vibranium, which is one of the strongest metals in the Marvel universe. Reducing it to pieces would have taken a lot of force, but Meinerding explained he "imagined that Thanos weakened the shield by a consistent barrage of crazy strong blows and the Vibranium finally couldn’t absorb any more energy and shatter
In a canon MCU comic we also see Black panther being shot with Vibranuim bullets piercing his suit as well, showing it to be relative if not equal.
Feats of other objects made of Vibranium
The vibranuim spire in Age of Ultron no-selled the destruction of Sokiva without a scratch.
We also see that even smaller pieces of the spire aren't destroyed and have remained intact after Sokovia's destruction
Extra addition
This is a little out there but there's also still this visual while not implemented in the final product of the films still shows the intent of the writers and directors as a display of Vibranium's capabilities through Black Panther in endgame showing him chlashing blows with the hulk gaining the kinetic energy needed to one shot a leviathan.
That's about all and the conclusion from this again is that all Vibranium in the MCU is equal to if not relative to being "at most 6-C" and the scaling should change as such
Important note: Vision and T'Challa's Vibranium suit DO NOT SCALE IN THIS REVISION THEY WILL NOT BE UPGRADED TO 6-C, Vision isn't made entirely of pure Vibranium and is a compound but is still worth note same as T'Challa whose second suit is made specifically to store more kinetic energy than normal Vibranium and as such should have better properties than normal Vibranium allowing it to not need to necessarily be as strong as the attacker yet absorb more energy and impact moreso than say captain America's shield.
