Stormcrow Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm looking for a supplier of 1/4" 4140 steel plate, preferably in San Antonio, Texas, but anywhere in the U.S. that will ship will do. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Trez Cole Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I do not know if you have an Alro metals in your area, they get me what ever I need. even back haul it from one of there other branches. I once needed polished stainless steel for a gate it took a week but the shipping cost was very cheep they sent it from Chicago to Florida it took a week.

forgemaster Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Good luck finding 4140 plate, I think it can be sourced from germany (i believe, one of our customers imports it) Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Finkel has 4340 plate but I don't think they would have it that thin. How wide and flat do you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I just checked EMJ's stock list. They have no plate but do have 1/4" x 4" and 1/4" x 5" 4140. I don't know where it is stocked they list 4400lb as being regional to me. If you don't have an account and are not looking at $500 or more they are not likely to be willing to talk to you. You are probably best to talk to a local machine shop that has an account with them and order though them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thank y'all! I'll check with Alro. I've talked with EMJ already. I'm looking to get some pieces waterjetted. I'm prototyping right now, but if all goes well, it'll become a regular production item for me. One place quoted me $600 for a 4' x 8' sheet, so I know I'm going to be spending some money on this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
