    Why Is Steel So Expensive?

    steel prices are way over inflated but the miners are getting huge pays. It all flows on . Its not global warming causing the weather were going back in to an ice age. The planet dosent have a thermostat. There are two cycles heating and cooling, we are in a cooling cycle. Thus all the bad weather.

    Hey Cogsy The $25.50 was in Australia but came from hongkong . I assume your in the US the 16kg one.(I envy you guys cant find that big on Au ebay ) is US price and suprised me cos the US dollar is higher than ours. I would think would be somthing like $10. I wonder where the crucibles are...

    Yeah casts and extruded are different alloys so in the mix you dont have what you start with. Also another reason not to use steel crucibles. Despite people saying its not much. You I nobody knows what the new alloys are. The easist way is can you machine extruded Aluminium in its natrual state...
