I've been trying to get an AM signal at my job which is in a large
steel factory. Today I heard about HD radio and naturally I wonder if
this is still an AM signal that will not penetrate a metal building or
is an HD signal a more easily recievable signal that we are used to in
AM?

I sincerely doubt the signal to noise ratio will improve sufficiently inside
a steel factory for AM. If an FM signal won't suffice, IBOC sure won't do
much for you.
