Aside from copper, the pinch is tightest in the strengthening and rust-resisting metals used to make alloy steels. Detroit is consuming more chrome steel for trim. A surge in orders for machine tools has boosted demand for tungsten steel used in cutting edges. Molybdenum, one of the prime hardening metals, is so scarce that steelmakers frequently are forced to buy on a grey market, where they pay speculators double or triple the going price...
