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

Steel coils are used in the production of shipbuilding materials as they are typically cut and shaped into plates, sheets, or beams that are then used to construct various components of a ship's structure such as the hull, decks, and bulkheads. The coils provide a reliable and durable base material that can withstand the harsh marine environment and ensure the structural integrity and strength of the ship.

Q:I bought a steel pendant on eBay, but it turned out to be too shiny.I've read on a couple forums that if I leave it soaked in urine for 2 days, it will get duller.Now, if it really does get duller, will the pendant get rusty afterwards?So is the shiny surface the only thing that prevents it from rusting?Any simple, non-urine ideas on how to make it duller are welcome too.Thanks!

Stainless steel will rust under proper conditions. I live on a boat on salt water, trust me. If the urine works it won't be prone to rusting any more than before. It's not the shine that inhibits rusting with stainless steel, it the % of carbon in the steel, compared to regular steel. IF the urine works it's because it is acidic (a mild acid). Wash it with a small brush and some baking soda to neutralize the acid when your done. A much stronger acid would be swimming pool acid. (Muriatic acid) but be careful you might test a spot with a Q tip on the back. If you try Muriatic acid it would take seconds.Then wash in baking soda water to remove all acid.. SS

Q:What are the major challenges faced by steel coil manufacturers?

Some major challenges faced by steel coil manufacturers include fluctuations in raw material prices, increasing competition from international markets, the need to meet strict quality and safety standards, and the impact of global economic conditions on demand for steel products. Additionally, environmental regulations and sustainability concerns have also become important challenges for steel coil manufacturers.

Q:I downloaded broken steel, the notice of my level cap raising was shown, but after reaching the Jefferson Memorial (when you are supposed to activate the purifier) if I kill Colonel Autumn, then Lyons simply says that we must secure the area, and I can't complete the mission. If I let Autumn live, then she gets stuck in a loop saying Steel be with you over and over. Has anyone else experienced this/how can I fix this? I paid $10 for the expansion and I'm getting ripped off.

Broken Steel alters the ending of the original Fallout 3 to allow continued play after the end of the main quest line. This means that when it is time to go into the reactor at the end of Take it Back!, you can still go in yourself or you can send one of three side characters. However, even if you go yourself, you do not die. Instead, you survive the ordeal and wake up two weeks later at the Citadel. If you allow the Purifier to explode, the game will still end. Elder Lyons will inform you that you and Sarah Lyons were knocked unconscious by an unknown energy spike. Sarah will still be in a coma

Q:What are the different coating options for steel coils?

Steel coils have multiple options for coating, each with its own purpose and benefits. Some commonly used coatings for steel coils include the following: 1. Galvanized Coating: Steel coils are immersed in molten zinc, resulting in a zinc layer on the surface. This coating offers excellent corrosion resistance and protects against rust. It is ideal for harsh environments and moisture exposure. 2. Galvannealed Coating: This coating combines galvanizing and annealing processes. After galvanizing, the steel coils are annealed to create a zinc-iron alloy layer. Galvannealed coating provides enhanced paintability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. 3. Aluminum-Zinc Alloy Coating: Also known as Galvalume, this coating involves applying an aluminum-zinc alloy to the steel coils. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity, making it suitable for roofing, siding, and automotive parts. 4. Organic Coatings: These coatings are typically applied as a top layer over a base coat of galvanized or galvannealed coating. Examples include paints, lacquers, and powder coatings. Organic coatings provide additional protection against corrosion, UV rays, and abrasion while enhancing the aesthetics of the steel coils. 5. Chromate Conversion Coating: This coating is commonly used as a pre-treatment before applying organic coatings. It improves adhesion between the steel surface and the organic coating, ensuring better corrosion resistance. The choice of coating depends on factors such as the intended application, environmental conditions, desired appearance, and budget. Manufacturers and end-users should carefully consider these factors to select the most suitable coating option for their specific requirements.

Q:What is the process of slitting steel coils into narrower strips?

The process of slitting steel coils into narrower strips involves unwinding the steel coil, passing it through a set of rotating circular blades called slitters, and then rewinding the resulting narrower strips onto separate spools.

Q:I know you can still but steel core ammo. I have read that it IS Armor Piercing (AP) and I have read it is not. Which is true? I am not looking for its AP capabilities. I want it if it is or is not AP. I live in Oklahoma. I need to know if it legal for me to purchase it in this state; and where can i get it? I am over 18, not a felon, etc. I have seen it sold online in Oklahoma years ago, but have read it is and isn't legal to purchase here. I am looking for 7.62x39 steel core for an SKS. If anyone knows where or how to get some, please let me know, if it's legal. Thanks.

If it is the same stuff I have seen before it is NOT AP stuff. The steel core is a mild steel that is used as a filler to give the bullet a longer bearing surface by reducing the weight that would have been the additional lead core. If the bullet was filled with all lead it would be over the weight desired for the load OR the projectile would be shorter making it less stable in flight. Also lead is a more costly metal to use than the cheap mild steel that China is producing. Anyone that has bought a tool at Wally World, BLOWES, Or HOMERS DESPOT in the last decade can vouch for how cheap the Chinese steel is...

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

Yes, steel coils can be used in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment. Steel coils have high strength and durability, making them suitable for various applications in the machinery and equipment industry. They can be shaped, cut, and formed into various components, such as frames, shafts, gears, and structural parts, to meet the specific requirements of different machinery and equipment. Additionally, steel coils can be further processed and treated to enhance their properties, such as through heat treatment or surface coatings, to improve their performance and longevity in the manufacturing process.

Q:does anyone out there know where to get a good deal on a pedal steel guitar? i am from northern indiana and i'm willing to travel some if i have to.i am just getting into pedal steel guitar and i really don't have any idea what i need. i don't know how to play a guitar (i do know how to play the piano and the drums) at all but i want to learn to play the pedal stell guitar and i can't do that without getting one first so, if anyone can help me out i would greatly appreciate it! :o)

I agree with everything that Lester said. Another thought is to consider starting on a lap steel guitar rather than a pedal steel - its related, a little easier to learn on, and less expensive. Once you get proficient on the lap steel, you can move up to the pedal steel. Good luck!

Q:What is the average flatness tolerance for steel coils?

The average flatness tolerance for steel coils typically ranges between 0.25% and 0.5% of the coil's width.
