I'm curious of a comparison. I have the need to buy two pieces of aluminium plate, that is 425x375x25mm. - it comes to about 23kg for both plates. So pricing in Sweden for this ranges from 410 euro to 660 euros. - But when i looked at a german online store i found the same pieces of plate for 285 euros, including shipping within Germany and Austria. - thats basicly half, with shipping.. So now i'm getting curious. What would my two pieces of ally cost in your country in a basic AlMg5 alloy (6061/68-T6) |

Aluminium Warehouse [UK] says £148 for 2 off 430mm x 380mm x 25mm of 6082T6 This includes VAT but not shipping [about £12 IIRC ] Seems to be about €190 - €200 ish. http://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/cutting_calc.php Dave |

Online Metals ( US Company, http://onlinemetals.com ) has a 6061-T6 18" x 18" x 1" plate for $221.43 plus shipping. I believe they do ship internationally. Regards, Steve. |

Understand, the price of metals (and other commodities) is established by your national or regional Future's Market and has nothing to do with cost or availability! This is why in 2005 here in the U.S. over less than two months the price of (20,000 lbs) of Merchant Stock steel went from $0.35/lb to $1.64/lb (and stayed there for more than a year). It depends more on what, if any, regulations are applied to the Future's Market by your country or region. We here in the U.S. pay something more than $20/lb for the copper that the Chinese manufacturer's sell us in finished goods for (about) $0.65/lb. This is called the Free Market... |

I can say that i would get annoyed - if that it would be cheaper to buy from a foreign country.. :doh: |
