The A string has a single filament steel core wound with chrome steel. A solid core like this is common in many sets of viola strings as it provides more brightness and projection, something useful for the top string. The rest of the strings have a rope steel core which consists of multiple strands of steel intertwined into a strong yet flexible "rope". The D string is wound with titanium, the G is wound with silver and the C is wound with tungsten-silver. Each material is chosen because its sonic properties match and complement the sound and range of the string.
