Bauxite is still mined in the U.S., but since 1981 the bauxite mined has not been used to produce aluminum, only other industrial purposes such as abrasives.

One of the machine shops I buy shorts from said another source for shafts is pump repair shops. They will sell the damaged motor shafts. I haven't tried that yet but will when needed.
I'll bet those are pretty high-grade steel.
