Q:What are the pros and cons of non-stick and stainless steel pots and pans ?Thanks

NEVER cook eggs in anything other than a nonstick pan. They stick real good! Though nonstick surface does wear off eventually and you have to get new ones..

Q:Can steel coils be stacked on top of each other?

Yes, steel coils can be stacked on top of each other.

Q:What are the different methods of coil blanking for irregular shapes?

Coil blanking for irregular shapes can be achieved through various methods. Among these methods, one commonly employed technique is laser blanking. By utilizing a high-powered laser, the shape is directly cut from the coil with exceptional precision. This method proves especially effective for intricate shapes, minimizing wastage. Another approach is water jet blanking, where a forceful stream of water mixed with abrasive particles is employed to cut the shape from the coil. Water jet blanking is particularly suitable for thicker materials or situations where heat sensitivity is a concern. Additionally, die blanking involves the utilization of a die to stamp out the desired shape from the coil. This method is frequently applied in large-scale production runs and can be automated for improved efficiency. Lastly, plasma blanking utilizes a plasma torch to cut the shape from the coil. It is commonly employed for thicker materials or situations requiring high cutting speeds. The choice of coil blanking method for irregular shapes is dependent on factors such as material thickness, shape complexity, production volume, and desired precision. Each method possesses its own advantages and limitations, necessitating careful selection to achieve optimal results.

Q:I have a knife with 154cm steel on it and I always here that you should put oil on it to keep it from rusting but I am just wondering what kind of oil? And how do I apply it and do I just leave it on there?

If the knife is stainless steel, then you don't have to worry about it rusting, unless you leave it sheathed in a wet sheath. Be sure you clean it off before folding it up or re- sheathing it. For carbon steel blades, almost any good household oil will work. 3 in 1, Rem oil, etc.

Q:On a free standing carport with an 8 inch, 22 foot long aluminum i-beam, would a steel 8-inch i-beam be just as strong? I am looking into it since they are cheaper.

Structural steel is stronger than structural aluminum. If the structural design is adequate for using an 8 structural aluminum I beam, you can certainly use an 8 structural steel I- beam and if the price is better, you can also use a 10 structural steel light weight channel. If it is on the coast, prime it well and keep it painted. Potential corrosion trouble spots and fasteners can be sprayed with automotive undercoating.

Q:benchmade mpr with m390 steel knife. Is it better than d2 s30v or 154cm steel?

From what I understand m390 is a new steel (at least for benchmade) so there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how it performs. Looking at the table, it should be very corrosion resistant. I'd guess it could be classified as a stainless steel. Sorry I don't have more info for you. EDIT: here's a link from the steel manufacturer. I hope this info helps.

Q:What are the common coil loading and unloading techniques?

The common coil loading and unloading techniques include using cranes or forklifts to lift and move the coils onto trucks or storage racks. Another technique is using coil transfer cars or coil handling equipment to transport the coils within a facility. Additionally, some facilities utilize coil upenders or turnstiles to rotate the coils for easier loading and unloading.

Q:What is the process of recoiling steel coils?

The process of recoiling steel coils involves uncoiling the steel coil, straightening any bends or kinks, and then rewinding it into a tighter coil, ready for further processing or transportation.

Q:I know some .50 Cal BMG will do that, but what are some other cartridges ?Also, are all steel plate the same hardness ?

I'd place my bet on a 155mm though you can't go wrong with the 8 inch. All steel plates are not necessarily same strength. It all depends on the molecular make up of each steel plate. Some can be strengthened and others are somewhat weaker.

Q:How are steel coils distributed globally?

Steel coils are distributed globally through a well-established supply chain network. Manufacturers typically ship steel coils to various locations worldwide through ocean freight or rail transportation. These coils are then distributed to customers, including construction companies, automotive manufacturers, and other industries, through local distributors or directly from steel service centers. Additionally, international trade and partnerships play a significant role in the global distribution of steel coils, ensuring a steady supply to meet market demands.
