It's steel. I might even have some domed nuts the right size if that was your preferrence.
Alternatively, brake cable fixing bolt for generic single pivot side pulls looks basically the same and has the right length. I got some new (don't remember who makes them at the moment) and they even have domed nut. Though the ones I have diameter 0.2mm smaller (5.6) than the Huret bolt I have (5.8), but they are probably made in several sizes.
