Dura Bar is cancelling production of Ni-Resist bar stock
(OP)
Hello all,
Dura-Bar has stated they will no longer be manufacturing Type 1/2 Ni-Resist bar, and sourcing has become a problem as supplies dwindle. It sounds like there are many folks out there having this same issue.
Does anyone have any information regarding utilization of other materials as a substitute? Thank you in advance.

This is an austenitic gray cast iron. Good corrosion resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and non-magnetic.

Yes, along with the statement above from EdStainless "Good corrosion resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and non-magnetic" is usage as a bearing ring around solid nickel plated cylinders/trunnions. I believe a percentage of graphite within the material composition assists it's utilization as a bearing between different metals.
We are currently looking into two other options of ASTM 395 60-40-18 and ASTM 395 65-45-15 to assist with procurement of materials while continuing to meet required material specifications.
