Sorry for posting on this older thread...I was reading the various posts about the different monikers for the Parker barrel steel and really enjoyed reading Mr. Spencer's posting as I also work for a Steel foundry...and wholeheartedly agree with his commentary. In particular the parts about the paperwork weighing more than the castings sometimes...especially when meant for the applications like the ones he referenced! I don't happen to have a Parker with "Titanic" or any of the other fluid steels...yet!
