How about sharing the name or contact info for some of those places that
have 4130 angle? What about welded seam tubing for non critical areas, is
there a source for it that you know of also? Thanks a million!

If you want to use 4130 angls, they are available from lots of
different places. If you don't like the prices, use plates and
weld them up yourself. You can have plate brake bent and
slice out what you need. Lots of ways to get it done,
don't get locked into mixing stuff like 1018 to 4130 because you
are having a tough time thinking it out. Think it out CLEARLY.
Go find yourself an EAA chapter and get a hold of one of
their Tech Counsellors. They are really nice to work with
and usually respond quite favorably to steak and beer.
Proper planning of the task ensures trouble free completion.

I am just about ready to take the plunge and order in the materials
necessary to duplicate my current airframe out of 4130. Thanks to all of
you
guys for the tips and sources. I have one more question. What other
metals
are compatable with 4130 when welding? My problem is in locating any
angle
in 4130. So far all I have found is seamless tubing and flat stock. My
frame
currently uses some angle 1"x1" angle. I would like to stay with using
angle
in these locations if possible. So, now this may sound dumb, but can you
weld mild steel or another alloy to 4130 tubing that I can get in angle?
Or
better yet, do you know of a source for 4130 angle?

Has anyone on this list ever welded a thinwall 4130 frame with a MIG
welder?

What is a good source of 4130 seamless and welded seam tubing?

Thanks,
