cosmology,
True story on the difficulty of getting our particle metal steels from Crucible.
I spoke with a VP of Crucible a couple days ago and he told me that the "making" process is back under way.
Niagra is the only rolling mill that can handle these steels and they are starting back up after re-tooling the rollers to make cleaner and flatter plate steel (guess who you can blame for that )

What I do not know is the order of material going through the mill and also do not know where our steels are in the line.

Hang in, will advise.
