RE: How do I polish stainless steel jewelry? I have a necklace that has a pendent made out of stainless steel. The pendent is connected by a cord, not chain, that I can take on and off; so, I leave it on all the time. It has gotten pretty tarnished because of that. It's pretty small (1 in. by 1 in.) and kinda a weird shape. I'll give...

Q:pros and cons of stainless steel and carbon steel swords

Well generally Stainless steel blades are machine made and are of a display quality.. so expect looks, but don't expect quality or functionality from one. From carbon steel, I'd say you'd be looking at swords for practitioners of a sword art, reenactment, and collector quality blades. Stainless Steel Pros: Good for short blades like kitchen knives, cheap, won't easily rust or corrode. Cons: Long blades like swords become increasingly brittle and can snap with light use, most lack actual tangs(part of the blade that keeps the blade in the handle.) and are just welded onto a wire that[if broken} will send the blade out like a missile when swung, these are cheap display quality only. Carbon Steel Pros: Are usually much stronger and of a higher quality than their stainless counterparts, are often handmade by professional sword-smiths, no two blades are alike, fully functional work of art. Cons: Requires responsible care and maintenance, will corrode and rust easier, can be much more expensive.

Q:Is there much difference? Which is better? Are they equally safe? Is it just personal preference? Can you reccomend a good comfortable steel composite toe boot?

steel toe boots are just that a piece of steel fitted over the toes, composite toe boots use other materials that are just as hard BUT they do not have the connectivity levels as steel. if you are working in a cold climate steel toes will freeze them toes right off, also electrical environments. my advice get a good pair of composite ones, and you get what you pay for, its worth the investment. more than you could ever imagine. proper foot support. helps legs cramps, back pain etc...

Q:Is condensation on steel caused from water being pulled out or is the condensation formed from the air around the steel object?

When moist air comes in contact with the cooler steel, the water vapor changes to a liquid or condenses. Steel is made of iron and carbon, not water.

Q:Is there alloys in low carbon steel or non

Hello, okorder Hoping this can help you. :-)

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

Steel coils are an essential component in the production of metal shelving. These coils, which are made from high-quality steel, undergo a series of manufacturing processes to transform them into sturdy and durable shelves. Firstly, the steel coils are unwound and flattened to the desired thickness using a machine called a slitter. This process ensures that the coils are of uniform size and thickness, which is crucial for producing consistent and reliable shelves. Next, the flattened steel is cut into specific lengths using a shear. These cut-to-size pieces are then sent to a press brake, where they are bent and shaped into the desired shelf design. The press brake applies pressure to the metal, allowing it to be folded or formed into different angles and shapes, such as shelves with raised edges or adjustable brackets. Once the shelves have been formed, they go through a process called welding, where any joints or seams are securely fused together. This welding process ensures the structural integrity of the shelves, making them capable of supporting heavy loads and maintaining their shape over time. After welding, the shelves undergo surface treatment to enhance their appearance and protect them from corrosion. This can include processes such as cleaning, sandblasting, and painting. The surface treatment not only improves the aesthetic appeal of the shelves but also extends their lifespan by preventing rust and other forms of deterioration. Finally, the shelves are inspected for quality control to ensure that they meet the necessary standards. This includes checking for any defects, measuring dimensions, and conducting load-bearing tests to ensure the shelves are capable of withstanding the intended weight capacity. In summary, steel coils are used in the production of metal shelving by being unwound, flattened, cut, bent, welded, treated, and inspected. These coils provide the raw material necessary to create strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing shelves that can be used in various settings such as warehouses, retail stores, and homes.

Q:hi i was doing a little history project on guns. i was just wondering if anyone could help me find out what material was used before steel and why this material wasnt as good as steel ( its faults)thanks for your help

The most common was bronze, which was the strongest material that could be cast, at least until the industrial revolution. Until that time, furnaces which could reach temperatures hot enough to melt steel did not exist. The only way to work with steel would have been forging, which means hammering it into shape while red-rot. Obviously, this is not a very practical method for making large thick-walled cannons (though it was done on occasion. Small arms such as pistols and muskets could be easily made of steel by hand forging.) The most practical way to make cannons was pouring molten bronze which melts at significantly lower temperature than steel. Cast iron was also used. Note that Cast Iron contains 3%-7% carbon, compared to steel which only contains between 2% to 0.2% carbon. Due to the excessive carbon content of cast iron, it's melting point is about 500 degrees lower than steel enabling it to be melted with pre-industrial furnaces. Unfortunately, cast iron is also brittle, unlike steel or bronze. This means that a defective or cracked casting could easily explode, sending iron shrapnel everywhere. (Also, maiming and killing the gun crew, an experienced gun crew was as valuable as the cannon itself!) For this reason. Cast iron cannon were usually considered a cheap, risky alternative to expensive but durable bronze.

Q:So today I was bored and was reading a shotgun shell box,the box was slug 12ga.I noticed it said not to be used in Damascus steel or twist barrel.It was to my understanding that Damascus steel is very strong and many stories came from what it could cut when used in a blade or sword.The little bit of info that i could find was that Damascus used earlier in the turn of the century on shotguns should not be fired unless special maintenance has been given and check out by gunsmith.So is Damascus not strong like i thought and not be able to handle higher pressure or why the reason for the warning?*

Damascus steel in gunmaking Prior to the early 20th century, all shotgun barrels were forged by heating narrow strips of iron and steel and shaping them around a mandrel.[22][23] This process was referred to as laminating or Damascus and these barrels were found on shotguns that sold for $12.[22][23] These types of barrels earned a reputation for weakness and were never meant to be used with modern smokeless powder, or any kind of moderately powerful explosive.[23] Because of the resemblance to Damascus steel, higher-end barrels were made by Belgian and British gun makers.[22][23] These barrels are proof marked and meant to be used with light pressure loads.[22] Current gun manufacturers such as Caspian Arms make slide assemblies and small parts such as triggers and safeties for Colt M1911 pistols from powdered Swedish steel resulting in a swirling two-toned effect; these parts are often referred to as Stainless Damascus.[24]

Q:full discription about hydrolics used in steel melting shop with hyd valve is use in thair circit too ?

The correct spelling is hydraulics. I haven't heard the term steel melting shop you probably means a foundry or a steel mill The most obvious example i can think of is hydraulic-operated fork lifts. Hydraulic cylinders are used to lift the forks and to tilt them upwards or downwards. The valves are coneccted to levers next to the steering wheel. Hydraulic pressure is supplied by a hydraulic pump driven by a propane or diesel engine. In some forklift designs the wheels are also not connected directly to the engine, but driven by hydraulic motors. There are also a large variety of machines used in steel mills and metalworking companies to cut and shape metal parts. for example, press brakes, plate cutting shears, stamping presses, hole punch machines, drawing presses, etc. These types all operate in much the same basic way. They use a very large cylinder or group of cylinders to apply many tons of force to different kinds of metal working tools.

Q:What are the different grades of steel used for coils?

The different grades of steel used for coils vary depending on the intended application and specific requirements. Some common grades include low carbon steel (C1008/1010), medium carbon steel (C1035/1050), high carbon steel (C1074/1095), stainless steel (300 series), and advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) grades such as DP, TRIP, and TWIP. These grades offer varying levels of strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and formability, allowing manufacturers to choose the most suitable grade for their specific coil processing needs.
