New Patented High Speed Steel Alloys

A US patent was just issued in February of this year for a new family of super high speed steel alloys that I invented. You can read about them here:


These grades are so new that they don't even have an official name yet. That's one of the reasons why I am posting this. They possess exceptional attainable hardness, red hardness, and wear resistance. I was considering calling them AR (Abrasion Resistant) grades and numbering them sequentially - AR1, AR2, etc. Does anyone here have any other suggestions about what a good name for these alloys might be?

How convenient that AR also happens to be your initials!

Go for it.

For a more literary option, consider "Reardon Metal"
