What they are calling a wonder steel is being made every day in a hundred different mills around the world, ALL aircraft steels have those alloys in them, ALL gun barrel steels have those alloys in them, along with a hundred or so other steels. alumiman is used as a grain reduction additive AFTER the steel has been melted and tapped. steel is a good pouring temp at 2950F. alumimon melts at about 900F the steel will freeze at 2500 while the alumimin works it way to the top of the ingot and just sets there, doing nothing. aluminim is an impurity in steel and does nothing like what they claim. Dave. P.S. 15 years in a steel mill melt shop.
