I suspect the author intended "Kgf/cm2." 56000 Kgf/cm2 = 5.5GPa (approx). "33 percent stronger than steel" is ambiguous since the strength of steel varies by orders of magnitude depending on composition and heat treatment. “Kg/cm2″ is not a valid measurement.

And what is this IM7 standard? I understand that the kg/cm2 unit is now deprecated and that tensile strength is more commonly quoted in GPa (giga pascals) but how many kg/cm2 is equal to a GPa?
