Hamond Lead Times for February 2006
We have machine availability on both our big and small machines scattered through February and March. This means that, unlike the period up to the end of January, when our machines were full, we can generally accomodate new short-warning orders.
Of course, in this business, this could change at any time.
As always, you can consult our salesman John for more detailed information. Call him at 416-998-0212
Copper prices continue to rise. The issues surrounding the Chinese trader who was speculating on Copper seem to have been resolved, but that didn't solve the copper price rise.
You can see what has happened to copper prices over the last year and the last 5 years by looking at these charts (provided by kitco). The charts are clickable and will take you to the kitco web site.
Larger (fills your screen) versions of these 2 charts here: 1 year and 5 year.
Obviously, this tremendous growth in Copper base metal price has effected all Copper derivitive alloys, including Brass and Beryllium Copper.
