  1. A single HVAC system and a fridge? Maybe 10K watts or so. The Honda ones are really nice and quiet, but expensive. Have plenty of gas cans handy. They all burn a lot of gas if you keep em running.

    Oh funny. No, I'm talking about the harness of the metal during the rolling process .........NOT the finished product. A LOT more expensive to cold roll than hot because the metal is much harder to actually roll when it's cold.

    CR is 2 to 3x more than HR.

    This always true because CR is additional work to the already produced HR plate. With the harder surface of CR more force is also required and the finish is of higher quality which = $.

     

  4. That was supposed to be a PM about the engine treatment lol. Got crossed up on that somehow.

     

     

    Anyway, there is a shortage of plate steel right now so they say.

    If it's not in bad shape it may be worth much more not as scrap ?

    This can be true, but a lot of this is structural cutoffs, damaged tractor trailer chassis parts and legs.

  6. Tubing is crazy too. Just heard a quote on 10,000 lbs of square tubing at $1.30 /lb. Never seen it anywhere near that high before. Scrap iron paying $12 on the hundred right now here. I have 10,000 lbs laying around here that needs to go.

     

    EDIT: Our latest price on hot roll plate and tubing approaching $1.75/lb for either one. Nuts. Not that long ago it was around .35 for either.
