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!

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. 

Greetings ,

 

I have bought a lot of tool steel in the Detroit area...  I have moved to northern Michigan and find that ebay has some good suppliers for small quantity.  Now that I have retired I don't have the need for large quantitys..  Just search tool steel 4140

 

Good Luck           I just bought some H-13

Good luck finding 4140 plate, I think it can be sourced from germany (i believe, one of our customers imports it)

Finkel has 4340 plate but I don't think they would have it that thin.  How wide and flat do you need it?  

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. 

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.  :)
