Hey everyone,

I thought this would be as good a place as any to ask so I am looking for small bars of tungsten.

Approx 30mmx15mmx1mm.

Let me know if you have any or know where I can get some as I am having trouble finding it.

Cheers.

Hey RayJay, are you looking for round bars, or flat pieces? Your dimensions suggest a flat piece rather than round.
Do you need pure tungston, or an alloy that allows machining?

Here are a couple of places you can look at, maybe they will have what you need: Mi-Tech Metals, and EdFagan. :beer:

These are U.S. based companies, but at the very least, you may gain some info. on what you may need.

Changsha Fatree trading co has previously hooked me up with a tungsten rod sample. I recommend them, their prices was far cheaper than any company I could find based in the west, and they shipped DHL which took only three days to arrive. You can email phoebe@csfatree.com and ask for a quote.

Yeah I need flat rectangular bars.

I have contacted a bunch of Chinese manufacturers and most of them have a minimum quantity of 2 Kilo's! I don't need anywhere near that much, at the absolute most 200 grams! And if someone was willing to do say 10 small 20 gram pieces for $5 each their shipping was upto $90!

Thanks Grix, I'll email them and see if they can help me.

I was thinking that seemed high. I've been looking for a place that sells small quantities of various elements in rod or bar form. That just happened to be the first one I found.
