Stellite Sources

May 18, 2004 7 Replies

I dropped an email to one of the guys at Voss Metals which is a metals recycling firm, asking about sources for bits and pieces of Stellite



He replied



"Call Illinois Carbide. Waukegan, IL 847-244-1110"



Might be worth the time to give them a call

We just bought about 150 lbs. for $12/ lb from Wilkoff Bros. in Cleveland.

How much do you need?

150 lbs.!!!! WOW, what do you guys do with it? Are you hard-surfacing ships? I use about 1/4 lb every 5 years. I use #6, I think it's the softest.

Just enough to make lathe tools. No bigger than 5/8" square in cross section and no shorter than 1.5" Shrug..Ive never used it, but given the thread on Stellite, would sure like to try it. I dont think I can cut down larger pieces...lol

I had some tangung parting tools EDM into small toolbits. Worked very well. THe yield was good but some parts cracked from internal stress as they were cut.
