Very good price Nickk, If he's getting it from the same source I do then he's not making much on it at all. I'd snatch his hand off at that.

Chinese,India or Turkish?

 

[Tom Orrow L]

I believe ours is sourced through a UK supplier who uses a Chinese manufacturer.

I had to weld a load of 4mm corten plate last year and investigated what wire I'd need. The answer I was given was that up to about 4mm, there is enough dilution of the weld pool that ordinary wire would work fine, and it certainly seems to have worked. The worry was that it would rust differently to the paarent metal and look wrong, but a year on the customer tells me everything is hunky dory. It was a stove built to live outdoors inciddentally.

Hi, I can confirm the IABCO NiCu wire is produced in Germany and is CE marked. We do not source any products from China, Turkey or India.
Hope to see orders from you soon. Mandy
