Hello All, I am trying to source some H section material, preferably brass, but may consider steel. This needs to approximate a parallel flange UB (universal beam) section at an overall size of 5 x 5 up to 10 x 10 mm. This is to produce some models of a piece of commercial equipment for display & presentation purposes and will be chrome or gold plated after fabrication. Ally or plastics will be no good as will be a silver soldered fab. I initially need about 10 metres of this stuff and will adjust the scale to suit available material. I could resort to machining the section, but envisage a lot of straightening out after milling. Have tried all usual sources to no avail. Any ideas folks ? Best regards. Mark G.

They do angle and U-section in brass but I'm pretty sure they don't do an H-section.

you want enough I'm sure they would consider making you a run if there is nothing available that will do the job.

If all fails, you might try to ask those folks wether they deliver to the UK.
They have H-section brass 5*5, 6*6, 7*7, 8*8, 10*10. The 10*10 costs 30 EUR / m. :-((
