Possibly Neodymium.
I've machined that and it's spectacular.

Could be. In another video they shred old hard drives and they spark
as well.

At the beginning of that segment (about 1:00 in), the worker is dropping
something that looks very heavy.

It also looks like slag from forging.

I have read that "flints" in lighters and torch ignitors are made of
ferrocerium, an iron-cerium alloy.

Maybe those rcklike metal chunks are a titanium alloy. I have heard
that titanium was used in many popular smaller flashbulbs back when
cameras used smaller flashbulbs, flashbars and flashcubes.
