That 52-55 range is iron with no significant flaws. If it's doing better than that it's actually steel or alloy (note: while typical alloying materials aren't isolated until TL 5, it's possible to produce alloys earlier because of natural impurities in specific iron sources -- for example, meteoric iron contains nickel).
