It's still not going to change the fundamental deformation processes. Even if the metals are alloyed with Dust, nothing about that would alter the movement of dislocations. And there's no reason to suggest that the sword would be made of a rare alloy; if it's so useful, then in the 80+ years since its manufacture, surely Remnant's engineers would have found a way to optimize the process. Alloying with Dust, if indeed that is useful, would not be a novel or foreign thing to do, and there's no evidence of other, fictional wondermaterials. It's not like Cap's shield, where it was made of a limited, alien element not found on Earth, and there is little access to the material, which only came to light in the western metallurgical world relatively recently, and the lab notebook containing the big breakthrough was lost.
