Parsteel is a metal alloy with a tensile strength of forty kilobars (roughly 10x as strong as regular steel).
A length of parsteel was bent by the android Lieutenant Commander Data in 2365, as a demonstration of his megastrength, during a formal hearing to determine his sentience. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")
In the script, this metal was referred to as "plasteel."
