I said iron specifically because it is more likely it could be combined in a non-steel alloy that would be much stronger than steel.

Steel is a combination of iron, carbon, and sometimes manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. It is unlikely that it could be made stronger in a similar compression process with these type blends of elements.

But iron is very versatile as an element.
