Thick Wall Stainless Pipe and Thick Disc
Thick Wall Stainless Pipe and Thick Disc
(OP)
I wish to make a stainless steel vessel that will have a final vertical wall dimension of 14" bore and outside diameter 15.5" x 11" high. Does anyone know how/whether I can get such a pipe fabricated? I will also need a thick stainless disc some 15.5" diameter x 4" thick that will be "sculpted" on a 5-axis CNC to give a complex curvature mating part. My difficulty is finding a source of such a disc. Ultimately most of the thickness of both parts will be machined away to leave a thin shell bith external bosses. That is the easy bit! I am UK based and this is a one-off adventure.

It may be difficult to machine the pipe OD with bosses left on. How about use a thin pipe & weld cap, & full-pen weld on the bosses?
