It kind of matters what you mean by "strong". Do you mean high tensile strength? Or do actually need something that's malleable so it can be repeatedly bent without breaking?
Back in the days when I worked in aerospace, I learned that the wire used in TOW missiles was the highest tensile strength wire made at the time.
