Source for metal samples

Source for metal samples

Source for metal samples

(OP)
Doing some teaching next month to a group that rates high in tactile intelligence.

Like to find samples of nickel, zinc, chrome and cobalt as small bars, thick strips or something similar.

I can buy stock and cut, polish, package, etc. here but would rather just buy finished specimens.

Would appreciate any ideas anyone cared to offer.

Thank you,
Tom Walz

RE: Source for metal samples

Have you contacted any machine shops that may have scrap you can pick up? Most likely if they do custom jobs.

RE: Source for metal samples

GoodFellow will have all of those. They aren't cheap, but they have practically everything:

Nickel and zinc you could buy from McMaster. Pure cobalt, pure chromium - might check with a plating supply shop.

RE: Source for metal samples

I recommend Goodfellow too.
