Q:What are the dimensions of steel coils used in the pipeline industry?

The dimensions of steel coils used in the pipeline industry can vary depending on the specific application and requirements. However, common dimensions for steel coils used in the pipeline industry typically range from 0.5 to 3.0 inches in thickness and 24 to 60 inches in width. The length of the coils can vary as well, with standard lengths often ranging from 100 to 200 feet. These dimensions are designed to meet the necessary strength and durability requirements for pipeline construction and transportation of various fluids and gases. It is important to note that these dimensions can vary depending on the specific project and industry standards.

Q:How are steel coils inspected for surface finish after processing?

Steel coils are typically inspected for surface finish after processing using visual and tactile methods. Trained inspectors visually examine the coils for any imperfections, such as scratches, dents, or uneven coating. They also run their fingers over the surface to detect any irregularities. Additionally, advanced technologies like digital imaging systems and laser scanners are employed to provide accurate and detailed analysis of the surface finish.

Q:I bought a damascus steel knife. It will be used for display. Nothing like hunting/skinning. If It is just sitting around, will it rust? (assuming that it isn't getting wet) Thanks for the help.

From that point of view the strength or edge-holding ability means very little. Specifically, the bushcraft knife is pattern welded steel. True damascus or Wootz steel is something you'll only find in museums and private collections. they stopped making it several hundred years ago. Despite what many people have claimed, Wootz damascus was inferior to modern tool steels in every respect. It was a brittle, dirty material.

Q:I just started playing guitar last year. I never changed the chords. When my sister started taking guitar lessons her teacher said that she needed to change the chords. When i bought the guitar it came with steel strings but i bought nylon strings because they are easier on the fingers. The problem is i already tuned up the guitar but it sounds really bad like if it was not tuned. What can i do about this?

Steel and nylon strings are not interchangeable. Guitars are designed and built for either steel or nylon. Using steel strings on a guitar made for nylon will just destroy the guitar. Nylon strings won't break a steel string guitar, but they probably won't sound that great (different woods sound better with different types of strings)

Q:I bought a stainless steel mood ring two days ago, but would it rust?Thanks in advance!

Q:i am debating weather to get the hercules rmx or the steel and from what i have read, the only differences between them is the rmx has a sound card (built in interface-to connect to the computer, correct me if im wrong) and that the steel has more effects. however, i cannot find out which effects it has so it would be a big help if someone can answer this for me.thanx

I guess that since Steel doesn’t have headphones connection and a built-in soundcard, one won’t be able to play a track on one deck and prelisten the track on the other without using an external usb soundcard, right? I was wondering what’s the point in releasing a product like this if you also have to buy a bunch of equipment to be able to do sth “fondamental”: play while preparing your next song. However since the steel is meant for DJ’s who already have a great soundcard, but I don’t see why a Steel+sound card is ONLY for pro’s. Yes it’s designed for pro’s but you can use it as a beginner. Some consoles you also need to consider: Hercules Steel/RMX, Numark OMNI/Steath. It's all personal decision. Peace, Love Happiness

Q:what is the refining process doing to raw materials in steel

As Mr. Perfessor says, refining raw steel involves a lot of purifications of the raw steel; and to expand a bit, these refining processes also add corrosion-resistances to certain graded steels, and durability factors, when heat-tempering processes are used. All of these refining processes, and coating processes help steel products last when exposed to moistures, salts, and other corrosive conditions that steel can be exposed to, whether the steel is in open-air/water/space, embedded in concretes and other masonry products, or part of a protective barrier system in power plants, engines, etc. Hope this also helps; the eggster.

Q:hey i was looking to buy a khukuri machete by cas iberia. its made of carbon steel but doesnt say which one. anyone that is into knives and all that know how this would hold up and the rust resistance of it? mostly be used for cutting bush and small trees

There's no way to tell from the information you posted. Given it's for a machete I would guess it would be a fairly high carbon steel. Rust resistance will be relatively poor. It will last for years though as long as you clean and dry it after use.

Q:exactly what is the differance between strontuim steel and stainless steel any differances as far as hardness .... need help.

Strontium steel is created by soaking a mild steel in strontium chromate, which has a pH of about 4 or 5, roughly the equivalent of acid rain. Chromate affects the cathodic reaction, with reduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+, and the surface film was composed of magnetite and hydrated chromium hydroxide. The Strontium is a radioactive isotope. The acid bath permeates the mild steel causing it to become mildly radioactive. Simular to oil imprengation of brass and other metals. Strontium Steel has a very high value of inhibition. However due to it's radioactive properties it is not a commonly used or manufactured material. As for where to actually obtain Strontium steel dowels. I have no idea i would speculate that you would have to purchase the raw stock and have it machined into a dowel for you.

Q:What are the common surface defects found in steel coils?

There are several common surface defects that can be found in steel coils. One of the most common defects is rust or corrosion. This occurs when moisture comes into contact with the steel surface, causing it to oxidize and form rust. Another common defect is scratches or abrasions, which can occur during the handling or transportation of the coils. These can range from minor surface scratches to deeper gouges that can affect the structural integrity of the steel. In addition, there can be surface roughness or unevenness, which can be caused by improper rolling or cooling processes during manufacturing. This can result in an inconsistent surface texture that may impact the appearance and performance of the steel. Another defect is scale, which is a layer of oxide that forms on the surface of the steel during the manufacturing process. This can give the steel a rough and uneven appearance. Finally, there can be oil or grease stains on the surface of the steel, which can occur during the manufacturing or handling process. These stains can affect the adhesion of paints or coatings applied to the steel. Overall, these common surface defects in steel coils can impact the quality, appearance, and performance of the steel, and may require remedial actions such as cleaning, grinding, or recoating to resolve.
