Those darn metallurgists - what do they know!?!?  The problem isn't in the metallurgy, the problem is that company X sends a part with specific alloy control to China and says "Can you make me this for cheaper?  It's aluminum."  Cast, upset forge, cold-rolled, hamburger roll if you have to, just make it cheaper!  SS
