Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites.
Its as light as alumimum and harder than steel.
Some composites exceed the tensile strenghth of steel.
It has been used in brake drums, rotors, brake calipers and as a driveshaft for the close to 375 horsepower c5 vette. Could be the strong bolt metal you are looking for.

Heres an intresting site helping you compare diffrent materials. Plastics, metals, superalloys lots of info. Perhaps it will help you find a good solution for the superbolts.
