T91 steel is sought for high-quality applications, particularly in irradiation research, with users looking for reliable suppliers. Engaging directly with major steel producers may yield positive results, as they can sometimes provide samples or smaller quantities. A previous experience highlighted that requesting small amounts can lead to unexpected benefits, such as receiving a free sample. The discussion emphasizes the importance of persistence and direct communication with manufacturers. Finding T91 steel may require similar approaches to those used in acquiring other specialty steels.
