Super User grimlin Posted November 25, 2009 Author Super User Posted November 25, 2009 If you don't mind answering as to what field you are in. I am originally from the Detroit area before moving to Fla. I'm interested in what areas are picking up, my field was scrap metals. Raw material slitting & mill operations.80% of the steel we slitted was for auto parts.Whatever steel we scrapped and didn't use I wouldn't be surprised if you guys got.Scrap metal was hurting for awhile there too.

Super User SirSnookalot Posted November 26, 2009 Super User Posted November 26, 2009 Back in the early 90's my partner and I bought out one of our customers (was in bankruptcy), a slitting co in Oak Park. We slitted master coils on a 60" slitter, eventually going to Granite City, Il. and buying a much better slitting line. My speciality item was pressed iron powder containing traces of copper and ni, which makes gears for transmissions and other auto and off road items. Until I got this account, can't say the name, I always thought gears were made out of steel, for many they are not. Being in the steel field I thought you may have found that interesting. Quote
