- Start date
A11 tool steel is a high vanadium tool 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.
