Q:So here's the deal:I recently bought McCann's Instant Steel-Cut Oatmeal, and I'm wondering about any possible nutritional differences between the instant and regular stove-top. In case you haven't seen it, instant steel-cut comes in individual packets and is cooked only by adding boiling water, the same as instant rolled oatmeal (i.e. Quaker).When I asked about instant vs. stove-top rolled oats, my doctor said there are no significant nutritional differences, but since the main health appeal of steel-cut is the coarse grain, it doesn't seem possible for the finer ground instant to be as nutritious.I can't find much info about this, so any help is appreciated!

Most people who are used to rolled oats have a very hard time adjusting to steel cut oats that are cooked only 30 minutes. For many, it's not much different than eating them raw. (Raw, soaked oats is called cram. Having to eat uncooked oats, as only the poorest would do, gives us the expression 'to cram it down your throat'.) Better still is to cook them thoroughly at night then reheat portions for breakfast if you're in a hurry. They'll keep about five days at a time under refrigeration. Any small nutritional loss from longer cooking is more than compensated by the better digestibility of well-cooked oats. That is, the nutrition is wasted if the oats pass undigested through the body. For most of us, that would happen. Indeed, we are not cows. Neither are we horses. People need to cook their oats.

Q:What is the thickness range of steel coils?

The thickness range of steel coils can vary depending on the specific application and industry requirements. However, generally, the thickness range of steel coils can range from as thin as 0.005 inches (0.13 mm) to as thick as 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) or even more.

Q:How are steel coils inspected for width using laser measurement?

Steel coils are inspected for width using laser measurement by placing a laser sensor on one side of the coil and a reflective target on the other side. The laser beam is emitted towards the target, and the reflected beam is analyzed by the sensor. Based on the time it takes for the beam to travel back and the angle of the beam, the width of the steel coil can be accurately measured.

Q:I'm looking to buy the Milano Stiletto, and it uses 1045 steel. I was just wondering whether this will hold up and keep an edge.

Q:How are steel coils used in the manufacturing of drivetrains?

Steel coils are commonly used in the manufacturing of drivetrains as they provide the necessary strength and durability required for these critical components. The steel coils are typically formed into various shapes, such as gears, shafts, and axles, which are then machined and assembled to create the drivetrain system. These steel components help transfer power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to move efficiently and smoothly.

Q:How are steel coils inspected for defects?

Steel coils are inspected for defects through visual inspection, non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing or magnetic particle inspection, and dimensional measurements. These inspections help identify any surface defects, cracks, or irregularities in the steel coils.

Q:What are the different types of steel coil edge trimming methods?

There are several different types of steel coil edge trimming methods, including shearing, slitting, and laser cutting.

Q:I already have the county permits and bank loan, but the foundation hasn't been poured. Is it too late to convert to steel?

Steel is going to be a whole different world. You will need to go back to square one and get house plans that are drawn for structural steel. First thing you need to do is find a builder that knows how to build with steel and get an idea of the price.

Q:What are the safety precautions when handling steel coils?

The safety precautions when handling steel coils include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety boots, and eye protection to prevent injuries. It is important to use proper lifting techniques and equipment to avoid strains or back injuries. Coils should be stored in a stable manner to prevent them from falling or causing accidents. Additionally, workers should be trained on the proper handling procedures and be aware of their surroundings to prevent any potential hazards.

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

The dimensions of steel coils used in the aerospace industry vary depending on the specific application and requirements. However, common dimensions for steel coils in aerospace applications can range from a few inches to several feet in width and have a diameter of around 3 to 6 feet.
