LOOKING TO BUY WM 90

[Ben REINERS]

I am looking to buy some WM-90, say about 2 - 3kg.
Preferably from someone local in KZN to save courier cost, though if price is not to high I will support outside of KZN.

I have tried many scrap dealers in KZN (Obviously not all of them🤣), & it seems to be a very rare commodity these days due to the current value.
Metal dealers in GP ask between R700-750/kg.
Bit rough......:uzi
I last bought pre 2012.

Hi daar, dit gaan goed hier thks, wats nuus in die Kaap ?

White metal (90) die beste graad Tin om lepels mee te gied.
Dit word aangewend in die vervaardiging van n groot verskeidenheid industriele masjienerie, items & gebruiklikhede ens.

Jy kan afval metaal kry of WM aankoop vanaf metaal vervaardigers, waar pryse dan n absolute hoogtepunt bereik het, n jy baie minder sal betaal by afval handellaars.

Tin is wel harder as lood, het n beter "shine" as lood & is meer bros.
Die elemente wat na gejaag word is die beter "shine" & natuurlik die hardheid, waar lood sag is & gou sy "shine" verloor.

Ek weet dat WM in die ou dae baie gebruik was in oa treine se rem stelsels, krag turbines van Eskom, sekere industriele koellaers, ou ornamente soos kandelaars, dak versierings, maar al hoe skaarser word agv die vervanging daarvan met ander materiale, om kostes te sny ens.
