you can get a high grade aluminum with aditives that make it stronger than steel, but it is still lighter than anything else (being aluminum) It is also not brittle like many of the harder metals out there.
When machining this stuff with a ceramic or diamond cutter, the cutter would have to be changed after every other cut, that is how hard it is. They used it/are using it for the solar energy and baha racers being built here at U of W.
