[PSUBS-MAILIST] HY-80 steel

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Scott,
Understood, building from the old K 250 may be easier.  As for your deep sub, Edmonton exchanger can produce very thick sphere's  from 516-70.  I asked them how thick one time.  They replied 5 inches thick, I almost peed my pants,lol.    You could get someone from out west that talks engineer talk to request a quote.
Didn't Sean calculate that you will need 2.25 in thick or something like that.  That would be no problem for EE, and they will weld it up for you, including the CT base.

Scott, try these:

You might have trouble getting them to talk with you in the 
quantity you would want.  Not many guys are looking for little bit of a 
titanium alloy.

The K-250 is for my wife to build. She wanted something that wasn't  really hard to build. I am wanting to build a sub that dives to 3,300' and  holds 3 people with an large veiwport and manipulator. Problem I am currently  having is locating HY-80 steel.
