Usually the blades are made of steel or Bronze. Some of the instruments that a Gamelan is composed are made of wood and bamboo. The Gamelan is not a single instrument, but a group of instruments that are played collectively.

Why does there are sharps in every note in pelog?

'Pelog' is a musical scale used in Indonesian music (in Java, Bali, etc). The notes are not like those of the Western standard scale. Not only that, but the octave is not divided up evenly into seven equal parts to represent the seven different notes, but the intervals are uneven. While many Gamelan orchestras (which play this pelog scale) are tuned in a similar way to the tranditional royal gamelans, each village does it slightly differently. When this music is written down, the notes are represented by the numbers 1 to 7 - it is less common to use western musical scores. If this is what you are after, search the internet for Gamelan and Pelog for further details.
