I offered you some invar 42. I think I called it invar 41. I did check on the size. It is .093 diameter. And I think you have some 312 stainless. I could send you some more of that.

I had to look up Invar , that stuff sounds like exactly what I need . .093
sounds like 3/32 , a good size for what I'm going to be doing . Since this
stuff has such a low coefficient of thermal expansion it should work well
for a stove grate ...
I do have some 312 that was in the package you sent me before , haven't
used any of it yet except to see how it handles , probably don't need any
more at this time but a few pieces of that invar would sure be nice .
