Q:I bought a steel pendant on eBay, but it turned out to be too shiny.I've read on a couple forums that if I leave it soaked in urine for 2 days, it will get duller.Now, if it really does get duller, will the pendant get rusty afterwards?So is the shiny surface the only thing that prevents it from rusting?Any simple, non-urine ideas on how to make it duller are welcome too.Thanks!

Stainless steel will rust under proper conditions. I live on a boat on salt water, trust me. If the urine works it won't be prone to rusting any more than before. It's not the shine that inhibits rusting with stainless steel, it the % of carbon in the steel, compared to regular steel. IF the urine works it's because it is acidic (a mild acid). Wash it with a small brush and some baking soda to neutralize the acid when your done. A much stronger acid would be swimming pool acid. (Muriatic acid) but be careful you might test a spot with a Q tip on the back. If you try Muriatic acid it would take seconds.Then wash in baking soda water to remove all acid.. SS

Q:Is it just because brass is reloadable? But what makes it reloadable? What does brass bring to the equation that the steel cased ammo can't do?

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of food processing equipment?

Due to their advantageous properties, steel coils find widespread use in the manufacturing of food processing equipment. These coils, typically crafted from stainless steel, are employed in the production of a diverse array of equipment, including mixers, blenders, conveyors, ovens, and fryers. The excellent resistance to corrosion exhibited by steel coils is one of the primary reasons they are preferred for use in food processing equipment. Stainless steel coils possess a high resistance to rust and can endure exposure to moisture and various food substances without deteriorating. This crucial characteristic ensures that the equipment remains hygienic and safe for food processing. In addition, steel coils provide exceptional strength and durability, enabling food processing equipment to withstand heavy use and harsh operating conditions. These coils can be shaped into various forms and sizes, making it possible to fabricate complex equipment components. This versatility facilitates the design and construction of equipment that is both efficient and reliable in processing a wide range of food products. Moreover, steel coils are simple to clean and maintain. The smooth surface of stainless steel prevents staining and simplifies the removal of food residues, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Regular cleaning and sanitation of food processing equipment are indispensable in maintaining food safety standards, and steel coils streamline this process, making it more effective. Furthermore, steel coils possess excellent heat conductivity properties, which facilitate efficient heat transfer in food processing equipment, such as ovens and fryers. This allows for precise temperature control and uniform cooking, ensuring consistent quality in the processed food products. In summary, steel coils assume a vital role in the production of food processing equipment by providing corrosion resistance, strength, durability, ease of cleaning, and efficient heat transfer. These qualities render steel coils an ideal material for manufacturing equipment that meets the stringent hygiene, safety, and quality standards required in the food processing industry.

Q:How are steel coils used in the agricultural industry?

Steel coils are commonly used in the agricultural industry for various purposes, such as manufacturing equipment like plows, harrows, and cultivators. They are also used for constructing storage structures like grain bins, as well as fencing and livestock enclosures. Additionally, steel coils are used in the construction of agricultural machinery and vehicles, ensuring durability and strength in demanding farming conditions.

Q:Can you recycle steel? And if you wanted to buy some recycled steel, where would you get it?

Hi, You bet ya.Right now its the big boom here in Maine.A lot of people are doing it ,its a good thing cause its helping clean up a lot of the junk around here. You could go to a scrap yard But I don't think they would seel much right now they are busier then ever just bringing in stuff. Anyways if you really got a lot let me know I can tell you everything you need to know and what to do with what you got. Mike

Q:how many persent of manganese in all types of carbon steel

No problem with other answers but there is a high carbon/manganese steel called Hadfields Steel which has been used as armour plate in pilots seats in fighter aircraft in the second world war.This steel contains about 13% manganese and about 1.5 % carbon and is non-magnetic because it retains it's high temperature crystal type(austenite).When it is stuck with a bullet it absorbs the energy of the strike by changing crystal structure to the magnetic form of iron(in this case shock Martensite),I should think that it still has a role in the scoops and picks in earth-moving and farming blades.Well you did ask about all types of carbon steel!

Q:What are the end uses of galvanized steel coil? What is the market like for this raw material? Would something like this be expensive?Also can you explain: PPGI.And the following specifications; what do they mean/represent?Required Composition :Thickness- 0.23mmCarbon- Max. 0.01%Manganese- Max. 0.20%Phosphorous- Max. 0.05%Sulphur- Max. 0.01%Silicon- ABT. 2.80 - 3.50%CRGO Quality- Prime QualityThanks

Steel coil is the name given to thinner sheet steel when it is manufactured - it comes out of the machine and is formed into a coil for ease of handling storage and transportation. Thin sheet steel is used for plenty of stuff. It can be slit (cut) into thin strips as well as just cropped and used at one of the standard lengths x widths it leaves the mill. There is a big market for this material. It is used in many construction and engineering applications for things like ducting, boxes, gutters, down pipes, flashings, panels, car bodies etc., anything made of thin steel Galvanising is a flash coating of zinc which improves it's corrosion resitance. Cost wise it is a relatively cheap material. The chemical composition of steel varies, it is mostly iron but has various other elements added or present as impurities that change it's characteristics, depending on the end use. These additional elements can be selected to give better weld ability, hardness, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, flexibility and so on. In many applications excess of these chemicals is undesirable. For example sulphur and carbon are generally better at lower levels. The chemical composition data is contained in a material data sheet and expressed as a percentage of the chemical present and which gives the composition of a particular batch of steel, allowing it to be selected for particular applications and traced for quality assurance purposes. The list you have there shows presence and quantity of other elements in a particular batch of coil. The thickness is 0.23mm, quite thin.

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 :)

Wood is made up of elements which are non-metals with a high electron affinity. Specifically, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and some nitrogen. Furthermore the covalent bond structure in wood means electrons are tightly bound and cannot move easily from atom to another. Not without adding a great deal of energy to the first. Steel is mostly iron, which is a metal. Metals have low electron affinity. The outer electrons in metals are bound very loosely, so that they can move from atom to atom using almost no energy. Metals tend to conduct electricity very easily.

Q:my step father bought a big steel drum grill it has steel sheets (very thin) that go inbetween the flame and the food (closer to the flame) with that there the food will not cook, it does not get hot enough????? please help... what should we do

that steel plate there is to try to keep the grease dripping of the food from making the grill flame up and burning the food. most all quality grills have something similar. you can take the plate out but your going to be prone to flame ups.
