A387 Grade 5 supplier - North America

A387 Grade 5 supplier - North America

(OP)
I am seeking a supplier for a very small quantity of 5-chrome plate, to be used for machining corrosion test coupons.  Would anyone be able to point me to a North American supplier?  I have been searching in the web, with very limited success.  Everything seems to come up as UK or India.

Thanks

RE: A387 Grade 5 supplier - North America

You will be hard pressed to find a supplier in North America for a small quantity of this material.  Your best bet would be to find a manufacturer that uses larger quantities of this plate and see if they would be willing to sell you some drop or excess material.

If the plate only serves a corrosion test purpose, what's wrong with getting it from the countries you listed?  A simple chemistry check will adequately verify the material you have procured.

As posted above it's hard to get a few fasteners except at Big Box Store.

You might want to ALSPI for your corrosion test coupons.

We have used them to supply all our corrosion test coupons since they started.  We used their samples for laboratory and on-stream testing.
