Price increases

[ggrindle]

Does anyone have a good source for the recent price trends in corrosions materials (hastally and 2205).

I'm looking at the last 5 years and trying to establish a firm basis for some budget increases at my plant.

Thanks,

Gene G.

The London metal exchange sets the rates for most alloys. They have a web site you can find by google.

LME web site will let you print graphs for various time frames. I suggest that you go back into 2000 at least. The price of Ni has been the biggest driver.
