Superior SS made in Louisiana
(OP)
I heard about a stainless steel alloy of superior hardness and wearability made or sold in Louisiana. Does anybody know of the name or designation of this material? (Could be hype for sales purposes.)

American Utility Metals, stocks this material throughout the United States, as well a the Baton Rouge Office, there are sales offieces in Colorado Springs and Centralia, WA.
The material was initially developed to material handling applications, where corrosions as well as abrasion is a factor. It found extensive uses in the coal and sugar industries. Since the initial application areas, it has developed wide ranging applications in transport for bus & coach construction, road sweepers, passenger and freight rail vehicles, trailers and fuel tanks. Other application areas include hot gas ducting, wide areas of use in power stations, waste water treatment plant, petrochemical plant, agriculture, electronic enclosures, clay and concrete (cinder block) manufacturing plants.
It primary aim is to replace carbon and coated carbon steel, where the coating have not provided adequate protection, but operators have considered traditional stainless steel such as grade 304 as to expensive a solution.
Because of its low nickel content it has typically been around half the price of grade 304, and has maintained very stable pricing over the last ten years.
