I never did talk to anyone at Rotometals, just looked over there website and ordered the number 1 grade 1 with highest tin. I see it went up a dollar a pound today.

I called Rotometals and they will not make a recommendation. The sales person wouldn't give any detail as to what the different alloys were designed for. The high tin alloys are designed for high pressure, high heat and high speed. I would think Alloy 7 would be suitable for our applications. |
