Brass. E3D makes a hardened steel nozzle, so it can be user-replaced on the Lulzbot print heads. [ITWorks3D.com](http://ITWorks3D.com) makes very similar E3D Titan Aero heads for the Mini and Taz, and will “custom build” with upgraded E3D heat breaks, nozzles, etc. on request – so if you want one out-of-the-box with hardened steel, you might give them a shout.

You can also get the A2 Hercules hardened steel nozzles from 3DeXtech - very nice nozzle and you’ll probably only need to ever buy one:
