Q:With the Reduced weight of steel,wouldn't the projectile be at a much higher velocity when fired causing more damage?I mean l couldn't steel be worked to seal the bore,not damage the rifling and still cheap enough to mass produce,and be light enough to carry much more ammo.

The bullet needs to be a bit malleable to conform to the grooves in the barrel. In an American .30 gun a .308 bullet is forced out of the gun it has to conform to the .30 bore and .308 grooves to form a tight seal. That's why lead and copper are the primary materials of the bullet. A steel bullet in a steel bore would potentially produce a pipe bomb or at least do significant damage to the bore. Also, the weight of bullets are optimized for their application with the current materials. There is no need or desire to reduce the mass of the bullet. Simply reducing mass for increased velocity can effect the terminal ballistics in all kinds of ways, but you cannot assume that damage will be higher for a variety of reasons. If nothing else the fact that the military has INCREASED the 5.56x45mm from 55gr to 62gr should be enough to doubt your claim. Also steel is about 70% the density of lead, so there would not be a major savings in mass, but aluminum is only 25% the density and it is much closer to the hardness of lead. If you really wanted a light bullet, the aluminum may be the way to go.

Q:How are steel coils processed for edge trimming or shearing?

Steel coils are typically processed for edge trimming or shearing by using specialized machinery such as slitters or shears. These machines are designed to cut the excess edges of the coil, ensuring uniform and precise dimensions. The coils are fed through the machine, where the excess material is removed, leaving clean and straight edges. This process helps to enhance the quality and appearance of the steel coils, making them ready for further manufacturing or fabrication.

Q:What are the dimensions of a typical steel coil?

The dimensions of a typical steel coil vary based on its intended use and manufacturer. However, a common range for the inner diameter is between 508 to 610 millimeters (20 to 24 inches), while the outer diameter can range from 1,200 to 2,000 millimeters (47 to 79 inches). The width of a steel coil can range from around 600 to 2,000 millimeters (24 to 79 inches), and the weight can vary from a few hundred kilograms to several metric tons.

Q:if steel is heated from room temperature (20c) to (500c) what would be the change in density?coefficient for linear expansion of steel 12x10^-6 k density of steel 7800 kg

First you have to convert the coefficient of linear expansion to a coefficient of volumetric expansion. Multiply the coefficient of linear expansion by 3: Coefficient of expansion of steel,β:12E-6/°K x 3 = 36E-6/°K Difference in temperature: 480°K ΔV = VoβΔT ΔV = Vo x (0.000036) x 480 ΔV = 1m? x 0.017 ΔV = 0.017m? Originally, the steel was at 7800 kg/m? Now, the steel was at 7800 kg/ 1.017m?, or 7670 kg/m? Change in density = 7670 - 7800 = -130kg/m?

Q:where to buy Transformer steel?Used in transformers and electric motors.

Electrical Steel Suppliers

Q:I just got my Daewoo K2 in 5.56 and i know they are tough and reliable but how well will it fair with steel rounds. I know shooting brass is better for any gun but what kind of extra wear and tear would i be looking at with shooting steel. Also what about reloading steel. Is it recomended. I would not even be asking this but steel is far cheaper than brass ammo, and i need to save some money.

You can't reload steel cases. I don't really know, but you just can't. If a mild steel case is harder than the chamber and bolt of your firearm, you should have got a better firearm.

Q:like, what can steel make?

buildings bridges automobiles elevators railroads and railroad equipment appliances and many many more. Steel is used almost everywhere. reference: Iron and steel are used widely in the construction of roads, railways, infrastructure, and buildings. Most large modern structures, such as stadiums and skyscrapers, bridges, and airports, are supported by a steel skeleton. Even those with a concrete structure will employ steel for reinforcing. In addition to widespread use in major appliances and cars (Despite growth in usage of aluminium, it is still the main material for car bodies.), steel is used in a variety of other construction-related applications, such as bolts, nails, and screws.[66] Other common applications include shipbuilding, pipeline transport, mining, offshore construction, pipeline transport, aerospace, white goods (e.g. washing machines), heavy equipment (e.g. bulldozers), office furniture, steel wool, tools, and armour in the form of personal vests or vehicle armour (better known as rolled homogeneous armour in this role). .

Q:Steel is a mixture of Iron Carbon . So , is steel a metal or non - metal ?

Steel is an alloy mostly made of metallic elements. You really wouldn't classify steel as a metal or a nonmetal. That terminology is mostly used with pure elements.

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of metal roofing?

Steel coils are used in the production of metal roofing by being fed through a series of machines that shape, cut, and coat the steel to create the final roofing product. The coils are uncoiled and flattened, then formed into the desired profile using roll forming machines. The formed sheets are then cut into specific lengths and coated with protective layers to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. These coated steel sheets are then packaged and shipped to construction sites for installation as metal roofing.

Q:Can steel coils be used in the production of construction machinery?

Yes, steel coils can be used in the production of construction machinery. Steel coils are often used as raw materials for manufacturing various components of construction machinery, such as frames, supports, and structural parts. The strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion of steel make it an ideal material for construction machinery, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the equipment.
