Anyone know a source of 316L stainless? I'm looking for maybe 6 inches of 40 mm dia.
And I'm nearly-but-not-quite skint :^( , so it can't be too expensive.

I may have some offcuts of 2" 316, is that any help?

Thanks very much, but it has to be 316L.
It will be machined, assembled and then diffusion brazed - I can't make the finished pump in one piece, and it's too small to bolt bits together - and apparently cementite forms on the grain boundaries during the diffusion brazing unless it's 316L. Or something.
together - and
diffusion
Peter,
A quick google reveals your secret - that the main use for 316L is for making body piercings ! But the mind boggles what you are doing at
40mm diameter. . . pumps indeed !
