90mm alloy pipe

[Jonny weggie]

Does anyone know where to get 90mm o/d alloy pipe and 80mm i/d, wall thickness 5mm per side.
Project that i'm thinking about at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Or you could try these guys..They are reasonably cheap and always deliver quickly...Not sure that you would be able to get alloy pipe 5mm thick though mate...Ziga

You could always do what I did, get a length of 100mm solid bar and turn it down

Mind you thats a lot of swarf..What do you do with it all?..Can it be melted down and re-cast?..

John,

Metal Supermarkets list sizes near what you are looking for. They do mail order and have a store near Ibrox. They will cut to the length you require, rather than sell a stock length.

Thanks lads i'll check them all out, Ian, solid bar would be my last choice but could always sell the swarf as rough brillo's, lol.

Yes it can. It just so happens that we have a furnace at work that can hit 1200 degrees - aluminium melts at about 800 (same temperature as cremation ovens, funnily enough, so don't stick your hand in).
All I need is a crucible and some mould-making kit...

I have a few boxes of swarf and turnings; one for alloy, one for brass and one for lead
