This type of development can have big implications. They play out way under the radar, at least to a mass media that is focussed on the cavortings of the latest sex kitten.

There really should be a US steel industry to capitalize on high-tech boutique steels like this new alloy. The unbelievably stupid refusal of the US producers like USX to modernize and specialize, when the similarly high-cost Europeans have been doing this profitably for 20 years+, is beyond me.

Why do the American steel producers still think they can compete with the Koreans, Japanese, Chinese and Russians by mass producing mass quantities of cheep steal?

Reynolds may want to go back to the drawing boards. Its new 953 stainless steel alloy has just been made obsolete.

“creep resistance” Hey Rosie did you get that? Creep was the problem in the twin towers steel.

Will this save Ronco from bankruptcy by the introduction of a new Ginsu Knife? :)

Any word on how it compares to other grades of stainless, as to it's machine-ability?
Stainless is tough to mill. The cutting tools cost like crazy, and don't last very long, either.
[yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody will come along and tell me to buy a CNC machine...ha! i wish!]

How 'bout welding the stuff? TIG? sigh...

If it could better resist undesirable oxidation, be cut or worked a little easier, AND be welded with a buzz-box stick welder, that would be a perfect trifecta.

I give up. ...stand better chances going out and buying lottery tickets...

Since China has purchased all of our scrap metal...will we be able to make this stuff?

Maybe I’m silly to worry, but I think of all of the metal drives we had during WWII...I don’t like sending them our “edge.”
