4130 sheet source

[Leon McAtee]

I'm looking for a source of some .063" thick 4130N sheets (5), in
UPSable sizes. Wicks and AS+S have been out for a while and even
Dillsburg hasn't got any and "might have some 4130-A in a month or
so". Seems there is no more 4130N sheet being made and hasn't been
for a year.

If I can't find 4130 I may consider something like 1026. Anyone know
of a source for this? A not so quick Internet search found little.

That sucks.
If Dillsburg doesn't have it, there isn't any...

I found a couple sites with Google. The search was
http://www.google.com/search?q=4130n+%22steel+sheet%22

Some matches include:
http://www.dipmetals.com/product_spotlight.htm
http://www.sky-craft.co.uk/4130n_steel_sheet.htm
http://www.gofastproducts.com/4130n_plate.htm

One of these mentioned the fact that the mill did stop producing this,
so supplies were becoming limited.

Got a 9" x 9" x 0.1" 4130 plate kicking around here. Anybody
need it?

Thanks to you and the others for the leads. I WILL follow up on them.
I had heard about a 4130 sheet shortage a year or so ago but everyone
seemed to think it was a minor bump in the road and would not be much
of a problem. From what I've been told, by people that should know,
this shortage may be long lasting and more than a "bump". Couple this
with the fact that steel for Whitmann style gear legs(and RV's)is also
no longer available it makes one wonder about the health of the US
steel industry..............

What US steel industry?
Canadian steel industry is virtually dead too.
