Needing shop stove grates

[Aquamoose]

I need new shop stove grates made as mine has deteriorated from the heat. How do I go about getting someone to make me two identical pieces (15” x 10.5” x .5”) and what steel is best to use? It’s slotted as shown but I don’t mind other types of openings if it’s no difference.

What exactly is it for? Wood stove?
Should be hardened if it should last. Best bet is an already made replacement from manufacturer or such.
I’ve cut down Weber grill cast iron grates before.

I built an outdoor boiler, and the grates that i used were cast iron floor drain grates = 24 in x 12 in x 1.25 in. Very heavy. They lasted 7 seasons, and after that time had huge holes burnt through them. I built my own out of 1.25" x 1/8" 304 stainless flat bar and welded it up to resemble the original grates. They were light weight in comparison. After year 2 they too were burning through and had warped like pretzels. So I bit the bullet and paid a lot of bucks to buy floor grates again. So the best material is cast iron. If you do make your own, I would build with a lot of mass.

Absent finding cast iron it looks like an easy laser cut job (sendcutsend)

You could get several made as the mild steel ones won't last as long.
