Just a small point.
Hi everyone. The company I worked for for 23 years untill I got hurt has the largest welding library in Canada. So to say I know a little bit about nickel and exotics would be an understatement there. I was a machinist there. I loved it too, I worked with something different everyday for any industry in the world. My point is that nickel surcharge is back in effect and has been. I dont know exactly how long for though. This happened just before the meltdown in 08 as well. I was just talking to my buddy there whos a manager and its almost impossible to get 304, 316, 321, Inconel 600, 601, 624, Hastalloy 276, X, Monel 400, 500, the list just goes on but you get the point. Even paying crazy prices with surcharge its next to impossible to find. Nickel is in FACT in short supply. Also Ernieandbert I like your figuring and there should be a message in your massage box.
