You can now request blasting for your order. See the FAQ below for details.

FAQ

What are the size limits?
The size limits are 12” x 18” with no limit on the length so it can be used for bars tubes, angles etc. Since it is an open chain design there is also a 3” x 3” minimum size. Eventually we will be building baskets to carry smaller parts.
How much will it cost?
We will be charging a $30.00 minimum and $.22/ lb.
How long will it take?
Turn around should only be a day or two.
What if my parts are too big?
If parts are too big for our machine we will still have to send them out for blasting.
How do I request blasting for my order?
When placing a web order, make a note in the "Order Notes" box and a sales associate will contact you to work out the details.

CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

To start off the new year, we're featuring a project by customer Loyd Benson. He built this custom motorcycle with the metal he got from Speedy.

Here's what he says:
"Custom made Motorcycle because of disability. Used aluminum plate and round stock on chassis and sidecar tub. Your products work well in these smaller projects as you can buy in small quantity and are priced right. Here some pictures of the bike."

Did You Know...?

...that a new technique can transform aluminum scrap into a high performing alloy within minutes?

comparison of traditional aluminum recycling with ShAPE process

The technique is called Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE, and was developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

"The novelty of our work here is that by adding a precise amount of metal elements into the mix with aluminum chips as a precursor, you can actually transform it from a low-cost waste to a high-cost product," said Xiao Li, a PNNL materials scientist and lead author of the research study. "We do this in just a single step, where everything is alloyed in five minutes or less."

This technique isn't just limited to aluminum scrap either. Cindy Powell, a coauthor of this study says, "Solid phase alloying is theoretically applicable to any metal combination that you can imagine."
