I need a 45 degree male to female fitting on my high pressure steering hose line. Both the pump and hose connection on there now are steel. I see mainly aluminum AN adapters, but did see 1 steel one made by Fragola. Which would be best for this application?
Thx I'd use steel for that application

Steel might not be an option, everything seems to be Aluminum. I see that same Fragola part listed multiple places as Aluminum (same PN as listed on Amazon) So I'm thinking the ad is wrong, last review was from 2017.
The only part that even listed a spec had 1500 PSI, which is probably right where it is.
What about 3/8" JIC adapter? Apparently these are interchangeable and available in steel? I looked at my receipt from when I had the hose made, it says 3/8" JIC.
I'd bet none of these Ebay or Amazon parts are really AN.
Wikipedia
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are widely used in fuel delivery and fluid power applications, especially where high pressure (up to 10,000 pounds per square inch (690 bar)) is involved. The SAE J514 standard replaces the MS16142 US military specification, although some tooling is still listed under MS16142. JIC fittings are dimensionally identical to AN (Army-Navy) fittings, but are produced to less exacting tolerances and are generally less costly.
