If only there were not those other considerations like: The right type of alloy or if that plant is available or meets the requirements in QC or whatever else. Just because some firm pours metal somewhere does not mean they are capable in producing armored doors for HMMWVs or anything else dealing with armor for that matter. You may be right, but I doubt the answer is so simple as finding another vendor.

Thomas register has a search. Key armor steel in and you get a fair number of hits.

But steel is steel, and can be made by almost (but not quite) any steel plant that can pour general steel.

Its all in the recipe. Just like any brewery can (and do under contract) make almost any kind of beer.

The steel plant does not make the doors, the guy complaining about the lack of steel made the doors.
