Need 4130 tubing

[Don Hanson III]

Does anyone here know where I can get a piece of 4130 tubing, 1.5" OD x .058" wall thickness, 13" long?

Non knife related for a project my son wants to do.

Thanks!

Don,
Try this website. http://www.factorysteel.com/aircraft-tubing.htm I'm not to sure how critical the wall thickness is. This company has 1.5" OD with a wall thickness of .065" in there Aircraft Tubing section, except that the tubing is square. The thinnest round tubing wall thickness that they carry is 7/32" in 1.5" OD. You could use that and bore it out to the wall thickness you want.

This second company carries the 4130 round tubing in 1.5" OD x .065" wall thickness. This would be even easier to bore out to .058" wall thickness than the 7/32" wall thickness tubing above.

Can we get a sneek peek or some info on this project? Sounds cool! Perhaps cannon related?

 

[B Finnigan]

Hopefully not cannon related with a .065" wall.

No boom like a canon But it is projectile related :thumbup:

Sam , last year there was a big rocket competition in Florida NY [?] .They need FAA clearance for the big ones.There's a fellow in Matamoras that's involved in this .

Let me say that again




I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one Robert thanks! I know a hobby shop that sells the smallest FAA clearance required otors for rockets.

Some of those homemade rockets are essentialy small DIY sounding rockets. And they WILL go boom sometimes
