You might be able to make an educated guess at the material type if you worked with the material (i.e. worked with the material in a milling machine). But, that's all it would be: a guess. Your only way to tell for sure is to do analysis to determine the proportion of elements in the sample. Spectroscopy would work. myv65 really hit this one on the head.
