i've been searching on the internet, wasting hours of my time. i am hoping to find an image, list of properties, and a place where i can buy a small amount without being totally ripped off as i know of one place that wants to sell many pounds at a time...all i want is a piece 1/4" by 1" by 2". the alloy i dont think is exotic at all, is 70% copper, 30% zirconium (not zinc). I am willing to pay $5 for a 2 ounce piece (that's $60/pound, which i think is a not bad to a supplier as it's just $6/pound in bulk anyway).
please help! as far as other alloys go, perhaps you can tell me a general link where i can find images of alloys of my choosing? yahoo images is not so robust in doing it.
thanks in advance!!!

Copper, Zirconium alloy is not all that common! Especially if you don't want the Hafnium that is bound to come along unless you remove that from Zr by solvent extraction or some other expensive techniques. Check with Wah Chang or Cezus.
Unless they have some scrap piece, no one will sell such small quantities. Minimum order will be a few hundred dollars.

U might try to ask for a sample sense u want such a small piece. With the fact that if it is pure enough u would want much more.

Find out where you can buy it. Ask them who they sell it to, explain that it's for school or something, act like your from high school. Call the local places that use the material and go there and ask them for some scrap. Ask for the shop manager.
