Pure aluminium if extremely soft material. Used on old-fashioned tee kettles, who would dent by dropping table spoon on them.
Last year I bought patio boat with damaged ponton and after replacing it, used old pontoon as cover for my pool slide.
Cut it along and peeled open, where the bottom had 3 ft long dent on it.
I walk my 220 lb over the dent, jump on it and even it flexed slightly - it would not bend back. The thing is build with aircraft-quality aluminium alloy.
Some military grade aluminium alloys can be stronger than steel.
