[Avodah] [Areivim] Identity of "barzel"

When the Torah mentions "barzel" (the first reference is apparently in 
sefer Bamidmar), is it speaking about a specific metal?  I have 
generally heard it translated as iron, as opposed to copper/nechoshes or 
the precious metals, but wonder if it is certainly so.
