Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

(OP)
I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anybody know of a reputable supplier of non-welded or laser fused stainless steel beams (extruded) as follows:

Qty 28 beams W8 x 67# x 8000 mm long in SA 479 tp 304

Qty. 147 beams W8 x 67# x 6000 mm long in SA 479 tp 304

I found Amerex Products, but they are no longer producing.  I also have a lead on Thyssen Krupp in Germany, but this may be at the cusp of their limitations.

Would appreciate the help.

RE: Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

you can try the AISC
www.aisc.org

or contact them. They provide info about availability of standard steel shapes. I've never seen stainless listed there but they might be able to give you a lead.

There's also the Specialty Steel Institute of North America

www.ssina.com

RE: Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

The SSINA has a listing of manufacturers and service centers

Try these guys:
http://www.stainless-structurals.com/

As I recall, the prices are quite high - we ended up fabricating some 10" beams ourselves (small bridge crane girders)

Good Luck

I am aware of AISC and SSINA, I was hoping someone knew somebody with this capability.  Stainless-Structurals offers laser fused beams, not extruded.

Still looking!

Thanks!


 

RE: Looking for a Stainless Steel W8 x 67# Beam Supplier

Extruded stainless is limited to 6" dimensions that are usually shipped from India.  Why not use laser fused?

Extruded, non-welded, including laser fusion, is a client specification requirement (nuclear).
