So lith, from Greek lithos, stone. Problem is there's no straight equivalent for a metal bar - perhaps rávdos/rabdos, meaning ingot/rod.

So, "Monorabd"?

métallon is probably the most analogous word to líthos. unfortunately "monometal" just sounds kinda dumb.

Not for a metal band that refuses to jump on the "stereo" hype!

"Sideros" (roughly) is iron in Greek.

Monosider?
