In summary, when purchasing steel for research purposes, it is important to carefully consider your research goals and choose a type of steel that will best suit your needs. Steel can be purchased from a variety of sources, such as online suppliers, industrial supply stores, and specialty steel companies. The amount of steel needed will depend on the specific experiments and tests being conducted, and it is recommended to purchase slightly more than needed to account for any unexpected errors or additional tests. Suppliers also offer the option to request specific properties for the steel, such as hardness or corrosion resistance. There can be differences between commercial and research-grade steel, with research-grade steel typically being of higher quality and better suited for scientific research.

Have you tried to ask kindly a giant steel producer?

Once I wanted to buy D=50mm L=1m of Maraging steel (30€/kg) from Allegheny or Carpenter and got a 6m bar as a free sample because they didn't know how to make an invoice for this tiny amount.
