Seems that some steel production is suitable.
Steelmaking is useful; you can build stuff out of steel.
As if it's trivial to process steel.
Steel can work. Just not that steel.
Steel is too difficult, let's instead use something that was invented in the 1960s?
are you interested in steels? what do you think would be better?
It depends on what you want: we don't know exactly what they did. However, we can produce better steel no matter what criterium you have for stiffness, strength, corrosion or oxidation resistance (sorry I'm just guessing the English terminology here, I'm not a native speaker)

I think steel is easier to manufacture and more abundant.
