      I am working with steels known as 9Cr steels, as they are 9% Chromium (the shiny metal you see on the front of some jeeps) , these steels have been in use since the 50-60s and are constantly being experimented with. Japan has developed a new version which we are testing for use in new power plants that is very promising.
