All ductile metals are suitable for drop forging. Steel is relevant in this case because many standardised types with different properties are available. These properties can be adjusted to most different requirements as well as they can be affected in wide ranges by forming and heat treating.
Non-ferrous metal are used considerably less, as measured by steel.
Technically relevant are aluminium and copper alloys as well as titan materials in specific fields.
