Q:hey... i don't need to change my strings, but i found a set of Bronze acoustic guitar strings by pure tone... i have a few questions on them:can i put them on a steel string guitar? i know i can't put nylon strings on... but i don't see why i can't put bronzethey are light gauze... i have no idea what my current gauze is, but i play in Dropped D tuning... so would the E/D string (6th) be too loose? finally, can you get strings designed to be played in Drop D?any help is apprechiated :D

I don't see why not. Put them on and try it out.

Q:I believe steel is stronger but it steel lighter than iron too?

Steel is iron, with other things added that strengthen it and/or make it less rust liable. So, in general, steel is stronger than iron. In so far as the density, that depends on the steel alloy. Some are higher than iron, some lower. Remember there are hundreds of different steel alloys. edit: but the density is still close to that of iron. density steel 7750 to 8050 kg/m? density iron 7870 kg/m?

Q:i mean the properties include the elasticity, impact load and ductility. am doing assignment about the perfect material that should be possessed by spring and i found alloy steel is the perfect and am confused whether stainless steel is the same with alloy steel ?

Alloy Steel Vs Stainless Steel

Q:Im in the process of replacing the gutters/down spouts on my house. The top of the house is four sided. The bottom level has a porch area with 3 sides, two smaller roofs in the back, and one small roof on the side with all stainless steel gutters. A two story house. Not sure of the demensions. They were made at a Steel Mill where the previous owner, worked.This guy wants to buy the stainless gutters but I need to know the market value of this steel and offer him a price. Can someone tell me what I can sell it for? Does it go by the pound? Foot? Can you give me an idea please? Theres a lot of it! I have no clue what to do! Thanks!

Steel is at an all time high of $3.99 per hundred pounds..Stainless will sell for more....I haulled a pickup truck full 3 days ago and got over a 100 bucks for junk I had laying around the yard.

Q:y does 1095 steel on a katana weight about a pound less for the same amount than 1045? the 1095 is better right? but then why is 1045 steel more comenly used for practical use than 1095, even though i no its cheaper to use 1045 for tami mats. so is 1095 steel the better investment for buying and minor tami mat use?

1045 is a medium carbon steel is used when greater strength and hardness is desired than in the as rolled condition. Extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity combine to minimize wear in high speed applications. 1095 is a high carbon steel, but does not hold as sharp an edge. 1095 high carbon steel is harder and more durable than 440C stainless steel, but will rust much more easily. Stainless steel is more brittle than both 5160 and 1095 carbon steel, but is still very useful due to its resistance to rust and corrosion.

Q:What is stainless steel 316, and what are its properties and uses?

316 is the second most common grade (after 304); for food and surgical stainless steel uses; alloy addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. It is also known as marine grade stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. 316 is often used for building nuclear reprocessing plants. 316L is an extra low carbon grade of 316, generally used in stainless steel watches and marine applications, as well exclusively in the fabrication of reactor pressure vessels for boiling water reactors, due to its high resistance to corrosion. 316Ti includes titanium for heat resistance, therefore it is used in flexible chimney liners.

Q:Which one has more electrical resistivity? Wood or steel? And why?I know that the resistivity depends on the material of the conductor, but i want a perfect explaination please.Thnx in advance :)

Steel Resistivity

Q:What are the different methods of pickling steel coils?

There are several methods of pickling steel coils, including the use of acid pickling baths, electrolytic pickling, and pickle lines. Acid pickling baths involve immersing the steel coils in a bath of acid solution, such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, to remove scale and impurities from the surface. Electrolytic pickling uses an electric current to remove the scale from the steel coils, while pickle lines involve passing the coils through a series of acid baths and rinses to clean and prepare the surface for further processing.

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of electrical relays?

Steel coils are a crucial component in the production of electrical relays as they are used to create a magnetic field. When an electrical current passes through the coil, the magnetic field is generated, which then attracts or repels a movable contact, allowing the relay to switch on or off an electrical circuit. Hence, steel coils play a vital role in the functioning of electrical relays by facilitating the control of current flow.

Q:i currently have just steel guitar strings, not a fan they need replacing and i was wondering whats the difference between steel and bronze strings and or nickle strings?

You may want to experiment with different alloys to find which sound best on your guitar...but if it's acoustic, you should be using bronze wound strings.
