Inconol 713 required

[Martin]

I am building a gas turbine jet engine and need a small quantity of
Inconol 713 for turbine, 75mm diameter by 15mm thick. Does anyone know
of a supplier in the Uk that can provide me with what I need?

Thanks

Martin

A minor nitpick, but perhaps of consequence to a Web search:

I believe that the material is actually "Inconel," with an "e".

Thanks, and best regards to all

Repost to include metalworking group.

Additional note: the material I am looking for may infact be "Inconel" 713.

Sorry, can't help with the Inconel, but I would love to see what you are
building!

For any US jet engine hobbyists, see my surplus metal stock (came from a
Pratt & Whitney jet engine parts subcontractor):

Martin, I don't find 713 anywhere but reference lists. Are you sure
718 won't do for your job?

Check model aircraft jet emgines. A number are made in UK. Also I
believe some are kit built.

You didn't say the size of engine you are building but some of these
model engines go up to 50 lbs thrust and may be derated to get down to
that thrust level???.

If you contact the companies who manufacture these jet engines they
may be able to help you find a source of metal for your project if
they don't have?

All the best.

Sorry Martin, I've got a confession to make, I actually put this
question on for my father-in-law who is the one actually building the
engine as a retirement project. He doesn't have a computer so I
searched the internet for him but couldn't find anything. Then I said
to him that I would try an appropriate Google group and get back to
him if I got any replies. It seemed easier to pose the question as if
it was my project than to explain the actual situation. I think I
persuaded him, though, of the usefulness of having access to the
internet because he is planning to buy his own computer and go online
himself in the not too distant future.

I think 718 will do the job, do you know of anywhere in the UK which
sells small quantities if this?

Thanks

I've found several in the states, nothing in the UK yet but I'm still
looking.

Good Luck! My very mechanical engineer (retired) got a computer, and now,
I'm his technical support number! All in all, I don't mind it, but some
days, after the 5th or so call, it starts to get old!

Now, can you tell me which one is the "any" key? As in "hit any key". My
keyboard doesn't have a key that says 'A N Y'.

Just use your elbo and bang it down on the keyboard, it will always find the
"ANY" key.

If however that happens to fail, try using your head instead.

A close work friend swears that he really got that question in a class he
taught years ago. His answer: "It's that big wide one on the bottom between
the "Alt" keys."

I presume you've not been able to find a UK supplier, but thanks for looking anyway.

Not mine! It is just to the left of the 'A' key, where God
intended the control key to live. (Who needs a Caps-Lock key for
frequent use, anyway?)

Nope -- it is spelled out in full -- 'C o n t r o l'.

Not the way my system works. The Right button picks up the text,
the Middle button drops it (It would be left and middle, but I have set
my system up for left-handed mouse operation. :-)

Of course -- my system isn't a Microsoft one, for which I am
very thankful. :-)

Enjoy,
