Canadian supplier of case-hardening powder?

One such product is "Kasenit". Your locals will probably recognize the name, If not it's available in the States from

IIRC it's around $11/lb can. MSC and Victor also have it. Google returned 270 hits.

I got some 'HARD-N-TUFF' from James Morton Limited. Cambridge Ontario N1R 5V5 Tel. 519 621 7240. It's a green non toxic powder. That was about 30 years ago. I don't know if they are still in business. Good luck.

Last I knew Brownell's handled "Kasenit"(sp?)... Quite a while back..

Fixer Dave:

Called James Morton this morning and they no longer sell Hard N Tuff. They mentioned Casenit as a replacement but couldn't tell me where to purchase it .

Hey Michael,

Whereabouts do you live? I have a brother a few miles north of Williams Lake. Works for BC Rail.

Take care.

Brian Laws>Dave, I have a jar of "Quick-Hard" made by Harris-Welco in the States.

Wow, thanks, that saves me a long distance call :)

I was wondering how to start the conversation with them... "30 years ago, you sold someone something called... :) Think the salesman would remember the guy?

Depends on what the instructions say on the stuff I get. Way back in grade 9, the last time I did case-hardening, we just got the part to red-hot, rolled it around in a tin full of ... and then quenched. However, I've read that some types require baking for a period of time in a sealed box. If this is the case then I'll just use my foundry furnace... when I build it - it's my next project as I'd like to get into casting aluminium, and maybe brass.

And yes, I'll post whatever source I wind up with.

Okay, I can work with this, we have a local Praxair in Victoria. I'll wander by tomorrow. If I'm successful, I'll post the details.

David...

P.S. I'd do a web-search on 'Quick-Hard' but the results... well, I can imagine what the results would be ;)

If you are in Victoria, BC, almost any welding shop will have case hardening compound. My last jar of it came from Totem.

Hi,

thanks to all for their input. I've just ordered some Quick-Hard from Praxair in Victoria. It was $30 CDN, for a

1 pound can, which is a little more expensive than I had expected. But, it's still comparable to mail ordering Kasenit from Brownells (considering exchange, shipping, and the fee Canada Post collects for their hard work collecting government taxes... Welcome to Canada) It's not too expensive when you consider that I expect this one can to last me the rest of my life :)

You've all been a big help. It's a lot easier to get what you want when you know what to ask for... and where to ask.

David...

P.S. from my web searches, it appears that KASENIT CO INC has gone out of business - at least companies are offering "close-out sale" prices on the stuff.
