Q:Does steel have a valence number and if so, what is it?

Steel is a mixture, so it doesn't have any valence number. On the other hand, all of the components of the steel mixture are in their elemental forms, so all the various valences are zero.

Q:I have a steel plate 3' long x 2 wide x 3/16 thick. I have a 1/2 diameter hole with the center 3/4 from the end. Tensile strength is 38,000psi. A chain goes through the hole and is connected to a load. how does one determine how much tension the chain can have before it rips through the hole?

Assuming that the chain can take the breaking load of the plate, the plate will fail at the area between the hole and the end, in double shear. The shear strength of the material should therefore be known for us to be able to calculate the breaking force. Approximately, the shear strength of steel is about 60% of the tensile strength. For ordinary mild steel the tensile strength is about 60,000 psi, not 38,000 psi. 38,000 psi is just about the yield point of mild steel. Using 60,000 psi tensile strength, the approximate shear strength of steel therefore is 36.000 psi. The net area between the hole and the end of the plate is: A = 3/16(3/4 - 1/4) = 0.09375 in^2 The force necessary to rip through the area which is also the tension on the chain is: T = 2 x 0.09375 x 36,000 = 6750 lbs

Q:Are steel coils used in the oil and gas industry?

Yes, steel coils are commonly used in the oil and gas industry for various applications such as pipeline construction, storage tanks, and drilling equipment. The strength, durability, and corrosion resistance of steel make it an ideal material for handling the demanding conditions in this industry.

Q:I heard that the stores don't sale Steel Legion anymore...Is this true..Also I want to know why they cost more than regular Imperial Guardsmen..Such as Cadian...Do they have something Special?Also what do I need to buy to have a complete Steel Legion army..I need two squads of troops of 20's?and two sergeants for each squad.and one commiser?Well I;m guessing..someone please help...I havent played in about 4 years.

The stock at various shops may vary, but you can buy Steel Legion miniatures through the mail order, or the Internet from GW. Cadian troopers are plastic, There are no plastic Steel Legion troops. The plastic models are (a tiny bit) not so horribly expensive as the metallic ones. The minimum requirements for your force vary from mission to mission, but a good start is 1 HQ unit 2 Troop choices. Also, the total points cost of the battle is to be considered. (Usually 500, 1000, or 1500 points.) What you described is one possible choice, although the size of IG squads is 10 and not 20. And you must include a command squad, the commissar is optional. You might change the other 20 troops for a tank, or a squad of Sentinels. Happy gaming!

Q:I beat fallout 3 and i downloaded broken steel expansion. I have no idea how to get to broken steel in other words i do not know how to start playing it.

Sorry, all three above are wrong. Once Broken Steel is downloaded via windows live it's supposed to start automatically, but if it's not then one should launch Fallout 3 from the Fallout3Launcher.exe and in the Data Files section checkmark Broken Steel before hitting Play Game. Then, if you've done everything right, no matter if you're first level stuck in Vault 101 or 20th level playing for 69 hours, in about a minute or so a message will appear saying that Broken Steel is installed and that your level cap has been raised from 20 to 30. Even if you don't proceed through the main quest to the new Broken Steel quests, Broken Steel content will still appear in your game, from Supermutant Overlords with Tri-Laser Rifles to Albino Radscorpions, they're all out there in random encounters. Broken Steel is how the game should've been released from the beginning if Bethesda had any conscience, but now that we've got it, enjoy it.

Q:I work in a steel foundry 10-12 hours a day where we melt and pour stainless steel tubes. The pour temperature for some of them is very close to the boiling point of stainless steel (about 3800 degrees) because it has to be VERY liquid for the application we use it. Anyway, it does boil a little and we breath in the vapours which I can assure you ARE indeed vapourized stainless steel (it collects and cools on everything and makes a nice shiny coating). Ok, so to the question, does breathing vapourized stainless steel all day pose a health risk such as cancer? Anyone know? I'm just curious.

I would imagine it's not good. I doubt cancer but I suppose it may be possible. Shouldn't you guys have respirator gear on? Where's OSHA when you need'em? ;)

Q:What are the common methods of cutting steel coils?

The common methods of cutting steel coils include shearing, slitting, and laser cutting. Shearing involves using a machine with two blades to cut through the coil. Slitting involves passing the coil through a set of rotating circular blades to create narrower strips. Laser cutting uses a high-powered laser beam to cut through the steel coil with precision.

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of construction materials?

Steel coils are commonly used in the production of construction materials due to their strength, durability, and versatility. These coils are typically made from high-quality steel and are formed into a continuous, cylindrical shape. In the production of construction materials, steel coils are used in various ways. One primary application is in the manufacturing of steel beams, which are essential components in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Steel coils are processed and shaped into the desired size and dimension, allowing them to be easily formed into beams that can withstand heavy loads and provide structural support. Another important use of steel coils in construction materials is in the production of roofing materials. These coils are often transformed into corrugated sheets, which are widely used as roofing panels. The durability and weather resistance of steel make it an ideal choice for protecting buildings from the elements, including rain, snow, and strong winds. Additionally, these steel coils can be coated with protective layers to enhance their longevity and prevent corrosion. Steel coils are also employed in the production of construction materials such as pipes, tubes, and poles. These coils are formed into the desired shape and size, allowing for the creation of strong and reliable components for infrastructure projects. Whether it is for underground pipelines, structural support systems, or utility poles, steel coils provide the necessary strength and durability required for these construction materials. Furthermore, steel coils play a crucial role in the production of construction materials used in the fabrication of various fixtures and fittings. From door frames and window frames to reinforcement bars and wire mesh, steel coils are processed and shaped to meet specific requirements. This versatility allows for the creation of a wide range of construction materials that are essential for the completion of buildings and infrastructure projects. In conclusion, steel coils are extensively used in the production of construction materials due to their strength, durability, and versatility. From steel beams and roofing materials to pipes and fixtures, these coils are transformed into various shapes and sizes to meet the specific needs of construction projects. The use of steel coils ensures that construction materials are strong, reliable, and capable of withstanding the demands of the built environment.

Q:What are the dimensions of steel coils used in automotive accessory manufacturing?

The dimensions of steel coils used in automotive accessory manufacturing can vary depending on the specific application and requirements. However, typical dimensions for steel coils used in this industry range from 0.3 mm to 4.0 mm in thickness and from 600 mm to 2000 mm in width. The length of the coil can also vary, but it is commonly around 2000 meters.

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

Steel coils are used in the production of metal fencing as they serve as the raw material for manufacturing the fence panels and posts. The steel coils are typically flattened, cut, and shaped into various components, such as wires or sheets, which are then assembled to create the final fencing product. The durability and strength of steel make it an ideal material for fencing, ensuring the fence's ability to withstand external forces while providing security and boundary demarcation.
