You get difrent types of steel the two main gatgoreis is W300 and W350 which can resists 300MPa and 350Mpa respectively but a factor that influence compresive strenght is buckling and is in most cases the limiting compresive strenght.
Units for MPa=N/mm2
*The design of a compression member should be done according to your Country's design code
Compressive strength is the ability for a tool steel to resist permanent deformation when a load is applied axially. When a load is applied in compression on a tool steel, the tool will compress in the longitudnal direction and expand outward. When the load is removed the tool will return to its original shape and size. If the tool doesn't return to its original dimensions, then the load has exceeded the tool's compressive strength

There are several metals that could fit this description. They would include carbon fiber, steel, and even carbon nanotubes.
ADNR (aggregated diamond nano rods) having a bulk modulus of 291 gigapascals, with diamond being between 442 and 446 GPa.
When a material is placed in compression, it undergoes a decrease in volume and an increase in density. The material experiences internal forces that push its molecules or particles closer together, leading to a reduction in its dimensions along the direction of the applied force. At a certain point, the material may deform or fail if the compressive forces exceed its strength.
Collagen is the main component of tendons and is the strongest elastic material found in human tendons. It provides strength, flexibility, and support to tendons to help withstand tension and force during movement.
The strongest structure is often considered to be the triangle due to its ability to distribute weight and stress evenly. Triangular shapes are commonly used in bridge and building construction to provide stability and support. Structures that incorporate triangles are known to be more resilient and less prone to collapse under pressure.
The strongest explosive known is Octanitrocubane, which is a type of high-energy density material that can release a significant amount of energy upon detonation. It is more powerful than traditional explosives like TNT or RDX.
Graphene is considered the strongest material ever discovered, with a tensile strength over 100 times greater than that of the strongest steel. It is a form of carbon arranged in a hexagonal lattice just one atom thick, making it incredibly lightweight and flexible while still being extremely strong.
