Otherwise the same alloy remains available. CUP alloys would be a good source . I bet Thessco are still doing it too. The trade name will be slightly different, thats all. There are non cadmium bearing alloys wih the same properties if you want to go that route. If you go to CUP alloys website it will all be explained in detail.
