A rear sprocket is almost always made of steel, as it has to stand up to a fair amount of wear from the chain. For bikes with multiple sprockets (AKA cassettes) you can sometimes find titanium sprockets to save a bit of weight on race bikes. They're horribly expensive and don't last very long.

When your in low gear what sprocket are you using?
It depends on whether you are talking about the front sprocket (the one at the pedals, called a chainring) or the sprocket at the rear derailleur. The lowest gear at the front is the smallest sprocket/chainring. The lowest gear at the rear is the largest sprocket. So if you combine the smallest sprocket at the front with the largest sprocket in the rear you have the lowest gear available on your bike.
