Dorado Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So I'm in need of a strip of stainless steel. I need 3/16" or there abouts, 1x10" flat bar. Any good suppliers that you'd recommend or anyone just happen to have a strip like that laying about? Must be stainless steel, making something for my boat that'll be welded onto a stainless bar.

Sedalia Dave Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 For marine applications make sure it is 316 stainless and not 306. 316 is significantly more corrosion resistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 We have a company "Metal Supermarket" in Nashville that sells by the pound and in any size you want, if it is manufactured that way. You dont have to buy a 20 foot piece, just a little more by the pound. Also there is no cut charge if you want lots of little pieces. It is a franchise , there may be one near you.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 As mentioned, there's stainless and then there's stainless. Marine grade has more nickel in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Getting to talk to the local supplier is a pain. I'm at work before and after their hours and they're on the opposite side of town so there's no rushing down to pick it up during lunch....I'll try to order some. I figured 316 would be best. Just need to order it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Heard back from a machine shop that's done some good work for me in the past. He'll order the metal, cut it out to my specs and will weld it on for $35. Gonna take him up on his offer as that's a lot better that what I was going to do.
