Q:What is the tensile strength of a steel coil?

The tensile strength of a steel coil can vary depending on the specific grade and composition of the steel, but it is typically quite high. Steel coils are designed to withstand significant pulling or stretching forces without breaking, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

Q:How are steel coils processed before they are used in manufacturing?

Steel coils are processed before they are used in manufacturing through a series of steps including cleaning, pickling, cold rolling, annealing, and coating. These processes remove impurities, improve surface quality, reduce thickness, enhance mechanical properties, and provide corrosion resistance to ensure that the steel coils meet the required specifications for various manufacturing applications.

Q:I want to know if it is possible to make regular steel stainless.From what I understand stainless consist of chromium about 10 percent I think.Any way I'm wondering if properties can be added in a process or can this only be possible during actual manufacturing of the steel.And I'm not talking about chrome like stainless steel that's not to shiny.

Q:What are the common applications of hot-dip galvanized steel coils?

Hot-dip galvanized steel coils have a wide range of common applications, including roofing and construction materials, automotive parts, electrical appliances, and agricultural equipment. The galvanization process provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these coils ideal for outdoor structures and applications exposed to harsh environments.

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 different types of steel coatings used on coils?

There are several types of steel coatings used on coils, including galvanized coatings, galvannealed coatings, and organic coatings.

Q:y does 1095 steel on a katana weight about a pound less for the same amount than 1045? the 1095 is better right? but then why is 1045 steel more comenly used for practical use than 1095, even though i no its cheaper to use 1045 for tami mats. so is 1095 steel the better investment for buying and minor tami mat use?

Steel grades generally tell you how much carbon is in the steel. The higher the number the more carbon. Aside from quality of manufacture, the better swords tend to be 1060 or more. Few quality swords are made from 1045. Which DOES NOtT hold an edge better (quite the reverse). Swords made of these different steels weigh about the same. That is, if you made two identical looking swords - one of 1095 the other of 1045, they would weigh the same. 1045 is only more commonly used because cheaper swords tend to be made from it. Edit: No real swords are made from stainless steel.

Q:What is the role of steel coils in the production of industrial machinery?

Steel coils play a crucial role in the production of industrial machinery as they are used as raw material for manufacturing various components and parts. These coils are typically cut, shaped, and formed into desired shapes and sizes to create structural frames, panels, gears, shafts, and other vital elements of machinery. The high strength and durability of steel make it an ideal choice for withstanding heavy loads, vibrations, and harsh operating conditions, ensuring the reliability and longevity of industrial machinery.

Q:Just wondering how good are forge steel screw drivers, tool boxes(organisers) and pliers are, as screw fix are having a january sale, and looking to add to my tool collection. Thanks in advance

Q:i currently have just steel guitar strings, not a fan they need replacing and i was wondering whats the difference between steel and bronze strings and or nickle strings?

That depends a lot on what type of music you want to play. Most of the acoustic guitar music you hear on the radio is steel string. That's the bright, sustaining tone most musicians associate with acoustic guitar. Nylon strings give a more muted, mellower tone. Typically this is used for classical playing, although it has been used in popular music very successfully. (Think of Clapton's Tears In Heaven -- the second, lead guitar is a nylon string.) Many people will tell you that a nylon string guitar will be easier to learn on. This is true, but if you go with a classical guitar, with the wider neck and shorter fretboard, you might find some troubles transitioning to the standard longer narrower acoustic fretboard.
