On the one hand, this steel from Fixe Climbing is one quality level below HCR steel. However, PLX steel is also very resistant to corrosion at a much lower price.
Only titanium has better corrosion resistance than HCR steel. We carry the Titanium glue in bolt from Vertical Evolution in our program.
