Buy the container instead.Have they really....whats the builders name?....were they cheap
always had a bit of a hankering for one but I think it passed a few years ago now....

Was it the German or French nuke plant the Chinese put too high a carbon content dome on and the rest of the plant then needed a re spec.?And they're involved with Hinkley Point!!!
Oh I had that years ago the sheet basically slipped into layers when folded in the press break. This is way before Chinese importsThe scary one is in Essex to be solely designed built and basically run by them.
I have recently seen some 6mm plate almost de laminate like a sheet of plywood.
Going to try a bit of old stock and see what occurs.Probably just needs annealing as it has too high a carbon content and cooled rapidly in the rolling / slitting mill
I even saw a flattened mouse inside one panel. Definitely a Chinese mouse QUOTE]
I've got to ask how you knew it was a Chinese mouse?
I have seen the durbar bits lift around a fold on thar stuff before nowI've snapped durbar in the pressbrake now. It literally just broke apart along the fold line. There's a picture on here somewhere.

Yes other than that they would still bend in a higher carbon steel . Same way I have done many many times before.Did you quench them after tapering?
My plan is to normalise, it's just a pain because there's a lot to do, proper aneal is out of the question because of quantity and length of the piecesI think in this day and age of Asian steel recycling it's about giving yourself the best chance of success regardless of what you feel should or shouldn't happen, or what you've had success with before in the past because logic gets thrown out & uncertainty thrown in. If I was going to cold bend after I wouldn't quench them, and when I've hit impossible to drill hard bits after forging I've found that normalizing has been enough to soften them up again without going to full blown anneal.
Also got to run some weld break tests now because I use this section on part of a hinge assembly
I should try a small part first....if its impurities no heat treatment will improve it....maybe make it worseMy plan is to normalise, it's just a pain because there's a lot to do, proper aneal is out of the question because of quantity and length of the pieces
Will also work at colder temp range.

You know your right, it's also a lot of time v material cost to replace.I should try a small part first....if its impurities no heat treatment will improve it....maybe make it worse
why dont they pass European Standards?The Americans and the Aussies are gagging to bring food products to the Uk next year which don't pass European standards.
Of course I am utterly confident the Government won't let it happen.....must go, just off for a canter on my unicorn.
I know one of the food stuffs is chlorinated chicken, which is a common practise in the USA but currently banned in the EU.why dont they pass European Standards?
