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?

No HD Radio will not work any better than AM.
And the audio quality sucks..

How many times have you listened? I find the quality excellent, less
fatiguing than analog AM, and quite a significant improvement. I actually
have an HD radio, too.

No wonder. You hash the analog signal and adjacent channels with
sideband noise and cut off anything above 4 kHz to do HD. "Let's trash
the analog so we can sell digital receivers is your mantra."
