Q:I own a crappy steel string acoustic and a very nice electric guitar.I have saved up to buy a new acoustic but I cannot decide to just invest in a better steel string or explore around with a nylon string. From others experience, will I get my fill of satisfaction of playing on a nylon, or should I stick to a steel string?

Nylon string guitars are mostly classical guitars ment for classical and flamenco music, both guitars, nylon and steel, sound really well. My dad has a steel acoustic and I have a nylon classical guitar by Cordova It just depends on what style of music you play. When your buying a new guitar, play as many guitars to try them out once you find what you which one you want, you'll know

Q:what is the porpose of preheating mild steel prior to welding

:you could attempt welding with whats pronounced as a filler rod. you could weld with the a million/8 rod interior the welder stinger and by conserving the a million/sixteen rod in the different hand, upload it as you weld.

Q:How are steel coils cut to size?

Steel coils are cut to size using a variety of methods such as shearing, slitting, or laser cutting. These processes involve using specialized machinery to ensure precise and accurate cuts according to the required dimensions.

Q:i need working shoes for women that have steel toe shoes? What store do they sell them in . i live in c.a.

You should find a Work World in your area. And sometimes Boot Barn will also have steel toed boots for women. I am a pipe fitter I work in refineries for long hours and I would reccomend Timberland womens steel toes with a composite toe. They are lighter than steel. Your toes wont get as cold and they are more comfortable. I would also reccomend putting an insert like Dr. Sholls to cushion your heels and toes. If your feet are small you will want to check around because our sizes arent as available as mens. Justin's are made entirely in the USA of very soft leather and they last long but you will need 6-8 weeks to wait for a special order and you can only get those at a boot barn location. good luck!

Q:I am using mild steel wire (very thin and bendable) for an art project, and would like to know if using a soldering torch is effective enough to get the job done. Or do I have to use a butane torch to heat the metal?BTW, is it better to use soft or hard solder?

steel wire has to be silver soldered, or brazed ,or spot welded, you can not solder it, with reg solder or a soldering iron, use a small torch, like a pencil torch,

Q:Hi can someone help me pleaseis there any available data for mechanical behaviour of recycled steel, i need to compare them with new steel.

It is not clear from the question whether the recycled steel is used in its existing state or used as raw material for further fabrication. For the existing steel, you need to track down the original documents such as the ladle analysis and mill certificates certifying the material standards for which the steel was fabricated. Another alternative is take samples and conduct chemical and mechanical tests on the steel. Also the date of when the structure was built from which the steel is recycled may help indicate whether it is (American Society for Testing and Materials) Standard ASTM A7 or ASTM A36 or another type of steel. In most cases, the steel is used as raw material to make new steel. The mill will adjust the additives to produce steel with the required chemical and physical properties to meet the ASTM standards specified.

Q:I want to replace the old refrigator within the next 6 months........ Is the trend to buy a stainless steel refrigerator? Some magazines and internet sites are pointing me that direction. What are the pro's and con's ? I like the color bisque, or cream-color as well, or better, than stainless steel. What would be the reasons to buy stainless steel...is it becoming the most popular color ?

I'm looking too and certainly the designer trend is to buy stainless steel. They look classy, shiny and bring a darker wood kitchen more life. However, there are companies that have put out fingerprint/smudge free stainless models. I have found their surfaces don't retain fingerprints - do test them in the store.If you have small children, stainless isn't the best choice. I love the look and practicality of the French Door fridges - great for smaller spaces. I was all set to buy an LG fridge and now I'm hearing that they're going on fire? Be sure to check Consumer Reports before you buy. Many of the cheaper models are now made in Mexico. I do notice the quality difference when I'm opening and closing fridge doors in the showrooms.

Q:So we all know a 1000lb steel ball will sink in water, but if you were to leave the center of the ball hollow and fill with air, if the steel ball was big enough in diameter it should float correct? What size would the steel ball need to be to float?

convert lb to kg = 454 kg = 454 litres = 454,000 cm2 volume (454,000) of a sphere = 4/3 pi * r ^3 calculate r double it to get the diameter of the sphere in cm

Q:What are the different types of steel coil handling systems?

There are several different types of steel coil handling systems, including coil upenders, coil cradles, coil transfer cars, coil tilters, and coil grabbers.

Q:What are the different methods of coil leveling?

Various industries commonly utilize several methods for coil leveling. These methods encompass: 1. Roller leveling: By passing the coil through a sequence of rollers, pressure is applied gradually, resulting in the gradual flattening of the coil. The rollers can be adjusted to exert varying levels of pressure, allowing for precise control over the leveling process. 2. Stretch leveling: This technique subjects the coil to tension forces, elongating the material and eliminating internal stresses. As the coil is stretched while passing through rollers, a more uniform and flat surface is achieved. 3. Temper leveling: Involving the heating of the coil to a specific temperature followed by rapid cooling, this method helps equalize stresses within the coil and enhance its flatness. Temper leveling is often employed for high-strength steels. 4. Roller leveling with leveling rolls: This approach utilizes additional leveling rolls placed above and below the main leveling rollers. These rolls apply pressure to specific areas of the coil, rectifying any unevenness or distortions. 5. Tension leveling: This method involves applying tension to the coil during processing. The tension aids in straightening and flattening the material, resulting in a more even and flat surface. 6. Precision leveling: Employed for high-precision applications necessitating extremely flat and uniform coils, precision leveling combines roller leveling, stretch leveling, and other corrective measures to attain the desired flatness. Each of these methods possesses unique advantages and limitations. The selection of a particular method depends on factors such as the type of material being leveled, the required flatness tolerance, and the intended application of the coil.
