RE: A11 Steel
So it seems its proper application is making steel tools. The high vanadium content will make it expensive. Things like these might be conceived for very specialized applications where wear, chemical aggression, exotic environment (space, temperature etc) are paramount, ... for most ordinary building situations even to arctic limates the sellers of structural steel provide adequate and reasonable solutions without going for specialty steel.

RE: A11 Steel
A client posed the question via e-mail with no explanation. I'm still waiting to find out what it's for & why A11.
The last thing I want to do is quick research and give bad advise.
