Hi,

I really don't know anything about Iron, or Iron working etc. I am in the USA though and I'm trying to get Iron weights designed in custom shape.

Is there some place I could go to get this done, what kind of costs would something like this incur, as to the weight of the iron and the processing. I would want around 4000 lbs of weights in 2-5 lb designs.

Any help is appreciated. Mostly I'm looking for the price of Iron and the where to get it from!

Thanks

We need more information. What design or shape? Include photos, drawings, etc

Knowing your general location helps But since I am also in the USA stop in and I may be able to fix you up

What are the weights for? Weight lifting? I used to work at a light pole manufacturing plant where base plates were cut and a round slug was typically removed from them. There were rounds of all diameters and thicknesses and a few guys (including myself) drilled center holes for barbells in some of various sizes. Of course, as mentioned, we don't have a clue as to what you need other than "weights" so what I offered could all be academic.

Window weights, trott line weights, shot put, cannon ball, chain flail wights... So many kinds of weights to be had

We could probably give you a long wait without any problems.

You need to locate a ductile iron foundry near you.
One or two will not be cheap...10,000 will be abetter per unit price.

Intended use makes a big difference as to possible sources. Just the difference between having them cast vs cut out of steel with a plasma cutter; or as Scott mentioned finding a source of usable material in the scrap stream---*MUCH* cheaper than paying for new stock!
