Q:I'v had 5 people at school say steel is stonger than Titanium and some(5) kids at school say titanium stronger then steel but i looked it up on the internet and i got soem web sites that say steel is stronger then titanium and some sites that say titanium is stonger then steel sooooo???? witch one is strongerPS i no tungsten is stronger then steel.... and titanium.................

Titanium has better high temperature strength than steel. Titanium doesn't resist shocks like steel can. It's more brittle. It's also far more difficult to weld. Titanium must be welded in an oxygenless environment. The average strength of steels that are made is under that of titanium. However, the strongest steel is stronger than the strongest titanium. Steel is the only viable building material. Titanium is too rare, expensive, and hard to handle for structures of great height. Hope this helps. Peace and Love.

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of shelving units?

Steel coils are used in the production of shelving units by being processed and formed into various components such as shelves, brackets, and support beams. These coils are typically cut, bent, and welded to create the necessary shapes and sizes required for the shelving unit. The steel material provides strength and durability to the shelves, ensuring they can hold heavy items and withstand the weight placed on them.

Q:I am a beginner and have a slow to average swing speed. Should i get graphite or steel shafts for my irons and does it make a difference?

The traditional answer was that graphite because the shafts weigh less than steel increase club head speed and would help improve distance for folks with slower swing speeds. The sacrifice was that graphite was less accurate than steel. That is all out of date thinking these days. So much has changed. Composite graphite shafts are now more stable and accurate than before while steel shaft technology has produced lighter steel shafts than before. That being said, I still recommend the graphite unless you are young and still growing. If you are young, then you will most probably grow into the steel shafts. By that I mean that your ability to swing the club faster should improve as you grow physically and learn to swing the club even better.

Q:What are the common methods of storing steel coils in warehouses?

Warehouses employ various methods to store steel coils, taking into account factors such as coil size and weight, available space, and resources. Here are some commonly utilized techniques: 1. Block stacking: Coils are stacked directly on top of one another in a block formation. Typically, they are arranged in rows and columns, with wooden or rubber blocks inserted between layers to maintain stability and prevent damage. 2. Racking systems: Racks are frequently employed to store steel coils efficiently. These systems encompass different types of racks, such as cantilever racks, coil racks, and structural racks. They provide an organized framework for storing and accessing coils, maximizing space utilization. 3. Coil cradles: Designed specifically for steel coils, coil cradles consist of multiple cradles or saddles that securely hold the coils in place. By stacking these cradles, warehouses can optimize vertical space usage. 4. Coil pads: Coil pads are flat platforms made of materials like wood, rubber, or foam. They are placed on the warehouse floor, serving as a base for directly stacking steel coils. Coil pads distribute the weight evenly while protecting the coils from floor contact damage. 5. Slit coil storage: Specialized storage systems are employed for storing narrower and lighter slit coils. These systems often include racks or shelves equipped with dividers or separators to maintain coil organization and prevent unraveling. It is crucial to observe safety precautions when handling and storing steel coils in warehouses, regardless of the storage method. This entails ensuring proper weight distribution, utilizing appropriate lifting equipment, and adhering to industry-specific guidelines and regulations.

Q:I know that they have steel shot in smaller sized pellets....say, number 4 shot. I guess it's for waterfowl, etc.Do they make steel buckshot? If not, why not? Would the pellets be too heavy? Wouldn't they have excellent penetration ability?

I know of no one who makes steel buckshot. Probably for several reasons. Steel is much lighter than lead. Penetration depends on energy, which is the weight of the pellet vs. the velocity of the pellet, equated into ft.lbs. Steel pellets have to travel much faster to achieve the same energy as a lead pellet. Steel, being lighter, would lose energy much faster downrange. The weight difference would be like teeing up a golf ball, and striking it with a club, and teeing up a ping pong ball and striking it with a club. The distance in flight would be obvious. Steel also, is much harder than lead, and would be hard on the barrel, and choke. It also would not deform, which would cause ricochets. Steel shot was a handicap for waterfowler's when the USFWS made non toxic shot mandatory. Waterfowl are bottom feeders, and they were eating the spent lead pellets, and dying from lead poisoning. Steel shot cut the effective range of a shotgun from 45 yards to around 35, and resulted in many cripples and lost birds. Environmetal, makes a T size shot which is .20 caliber, and is called Hevi-shot. Lead is heavier than steel, and Hevi-shot is heavier than lead. At the same velocity, you have 12 to 15% more energy than lead. and probably 20% better than steel....Hope this helps

Q:Can steel coils be galvanized?

Yes, steel coils can be galvanized. Galvanizing is a process in which a protective zinc coating is applied to steel to prevent rusting and corrosion. This process can be applied to steel coils as well, providing them with enhanced durability and longevity.

Q:Can steel coils be used in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment?

Machinery and equipment manufacturing can indeed utilize steel coils effectively. These coils possess remarkable versatility and contribute strength, durability, and stability to various industrial applications. They can be manipulated to assume various shapes, receive cuts, and undergo formation to generate diverse parts and components that are indispensable to the manufacturing process of machinery and equipment. Gears, shafts, frames, brackets, and other structural elements are commonly produced using steel coils. Moreover, these coils can undergo further processing to fashion specialized components like springs or fasteners. By incorporating steel coils into machinery and equipment manufacturing, the end products are guaranteed to possess exceptional quality, capable of enduring heavy loads, and boasting an extended lifespan.

Q:What are the common coil coating materials?

The common coil coating materials include polyester, polyurethane, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), silicone polyester, and epoxy.

Q:given the buoyant economic growth of india, what you guys think about steel industry? what can be the major issues in this industry in the coming days

Since2003, India has been the largest sponge iron producer in the world. In 2005, out of total global production of 56.05 mt of sponge iron, India produced around 11.1 mt (19.8%). In line with production target of 110 mt of steel (National Steel Policy) by FY20, many steel producers have announced their capacity expansion plans by signing MOUs with various state governments like Chattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. The steel producers are expected to add around 8 mt of capacity by FY 08. CARE estimates that during 2006-09, demand for steel in the domestic market would grow at a CAGR of 8.4%. HR steel because of its widespread applicability is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.5%. During this period, major demand drivers would be Consumer durables, Automobiles and Construction. Domestically, steel prices of flat products follow the international trend. Globally, steel prices are expected to firm up with continued growth in steel consumption. Further, the winds of consolidation have gathered pace with Arcelor-Mittal merger and latest acquisition of Corus by Tata Steel. The Indian steel industry has announced huge capacity expansions. With commissioning of these capacities demand-capacity ratio is expected to decline in FY 09 due to excess capacity. Will this lead to a drop in prices with commissioning of these capacities? With China and India becoming the focus of major global steel companies, will the consolidation of steel industry in these countries continue? For comprehensive analysis and CARE’s future outlook on the sector, please refer to the exhaustive report on the Indian Steel Industry by CARE Research.
