I've been looking for a UK supplier of stainless steel to make a stove pipe for a box stove. Can any engineers out there help me?
Tigoat sells tempered stainless and one supplier here gave me a quote for 'springhard' stainless. What's the difference and is the Springhard suitable for a stove pipe?
From researching it would seem that the 'Springhard' has only been cold rolled and not tempered through a heat process but I have limited understanding and knowledge of this area.
Thanks for you help!
Ron,
I have used the following from McMaster Carr:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#stainless-steel-shim-stock/=bmnnru
Part #9506K14 for 50" length or
Part # 9784K45 for 100" length
To cut, use a good pair of scissors rather than snips.
Here are the specs:

Any temper is likely to be lost rather rapidly when used as a stove pipe, surely…?
