Can I buy AL-6X plates ?

Can I buy AL-6X plates ?

Can I buy AL-6X plates ?

(OP)
I am trying to find out the correlation between PRE and CPT of stainless steels. Thus, I need 'AL-6X and 254SFER' but I couldn't find where I can buy its plate.

Would you please let me know where I can buy 'AL-6X and 254SFER plate' ?(for examples, any thickness(~6mm), several 30x30 cm plates)

RE: Can I buy AL-6X plates ?

AL-6XN is the current alloy, and it is stocked by Rolled Alloys.
254SMO is the Outokumpu grade.

I presume that this is an academic exercise.  There is tons of data on real testing and correlation in the litureature.

If you are buying a massively large quantity you can go to Allegheny Ludlum direct and save alot of money.  If quantities are closer to earth, you must go to Rolled alloys for AL-6XN.  There are other comparable 6 molys such as 254 by other companies that will serves as subs.

j2kabba,
It sounds like you need small test coupon size pieces. Try checking with a fabricator,

and    www.csialloys.com
They might have some remnants or dropoffs that would meet your size and quantity requirements.

Or if you want corrosion coupons contact Metal Samples.
If you have access to the NACE technical paper database you can find dozens of papers on this subject.
