Buyers guides

Ablation target preparation and testing

  • Applied Test Systems - high-end materials testing and furnaces
  • Futek - Load cells and other sensors
  • MTI Corporation - relatively inexpensive materials science research supplies (furnaces, temp. controllers, crucibles, gloveboxes, benchtop presses, diamond blade saws, ball mills, nanopowders...); equipment seems generally reliable, but technical support is of little help.
  • Renco Corporation - sells glovebox gloves
  • Thermo Scientific - general lab supplies, including furnaces

Radiation equipment

  • For radiation inspection, non-emergency cleanup, and radiation labels and waste bins, contact Ken Walker at first_last@harvard.edu.
  • Atlantic Nuclear - radiation safety: shielding, radiation meters, dosimetry
  • Ludlum Measurements - exhaustive assortment of survey meters
  • Canberra - radiation measurement and safety supplies, including radioisotope samples

Chemicals and materials

Ceramics

Metals

  • ESPI - expensive, but has everything
  • Goodfellow
  • Rembar- Good for Tantalum, Tungsten etc
  • Hagstoz - Gold and precious metals, usually cheap
  • Refining Systems - Gold and precious metals
  • Hauser and Miller - Even cheaper gold and precious metals
  • Allfoils - "UHV Aluminum Foil"
  • Sophisticated alloys
  • Parker Steel - Metric metals (not just steel). Tell Gary Bartlett that Stan sent you.
  • Copper and brass sales - THE copper and brass supplier. Doesn't always sell small quantities. Ask for Jeremy Jennings, First.last@thyssenkrupp.com
  • Sequoia Copper and Brass - Cheap copper and brass. Sells small quantities at reasonable prices, but might take a while.
  • Online Metals - Good selection, fast shipping, reasonable prices on most things. DO NOT BUY COPPER HERE... the price is inflated by a factor of 2-3 compared to Sequoia or Copper and Brass.
  • McMaster - Good selection, reasonable prices. Don't buy if you really need a specific alloy of a metal, since they never provide any sort of material certification.
  • Brunner Enterprises - Good source of anodized aluminum.

Hardware

  • McMaster
  • MSC - When McMaster just won't do
  • RAM mounts - Mounts for scopes and other instruments.
  • Vlier - Screws with Springs inside and more.
  • Air Incorporated - 80/20 supplier. Phone: 800-341-2800. Best to have the cut numbers and location codes (from an 80/20 catalog) ready for any anchor fastener counterboring, etc., before you call.
