Try Super Alloys in Milton Keynes. (Was) owned by my chum's husband, but he's recently sold the business and retired.

A bit like saying how much is decent plastic!

What's it for, what form do you need it in, what properties are you after, etc, etc?

Me too! I had my old Renault 5 Turbo 2 serviced in N London two years ago and popped into Super Alloys for a Sales Meeting on the way back home in it. (This was just after the the two co-founders had sold up). I turned up all dapper in my suit, but stinking of hot engine oil. They used to put some money into motorsport sponsorship, so good on them!

Is it really two years? I thought he had only sold up about a year ago!

His eldest son still works there.

Raw material price for sizeable quantities of virgin metal (pre-melting for alloys etc) = Euro 7.00 /kg (about 6500 quid / tonne). Expect to pay 3-4x that for finished material.
