most of the replacement basic 24t rings i've seen are steel from shimano, as is the stock 26 tooth on the deore. I've got one a deore crank in the garage right now and the middle and inner stock rings are steel. i should go double check, but that's the spec too.

steel inner/middle rings should set someone up good for many tens of thousands of miles....
