Ran into a bit of trouble working on a non-FSAE research project. We need some metric-spec (i.e. 2mm) 1100 Al wire for a micro-forming experiment, and all I can find in the U.S. is a "closest equivalent" of 0.080 in., which won't work for these experiments. I've tried all the "usuals," (McMaster, etc.), and also some specialty metals suppliers, with no luck. I'm just looking for commercial purity (99.9-99.99%) 1100 Al wire (solid, un-coated) in 2mm diam.
Any non-U.S. teams have a good metals source that would ship to the U.S.? Or, for that matter, anyone know of any U.S. firm that stocks metric materials? Thanks,
