So, I've tried searching on the forum and online in regards to anvil material but nothing comes up. Has there even been alternative materials used for anvils? Like perhaps... chromium or harded titanium, heck even tungsten (i know its brittle just using as an example). I ask because i see all these posts about rebound and sound plus less work etc etc.

I figured that some would be turned into a nice swage set for newer anvils or maybe even scrap metal. Thanks for the input guys.

I've seen people refinish the surface and what not but what if it's gone too far?
