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:Can steel coils be used in structural applications?

Yes, steel coils can be used in structural applications. Steel coils are widely used in the construction industry for various structural applications such as building frames, bridges, and infrastructure projects. The coils can be processed and formed into different shapes and sizes to meet the specific requirements of the structure, providing strength, durability, and structural integrity.

Q:How are steel coils cleaned?

Steel coils are typically cleaned using a combination of mechanical and chemical methods. First, the coils are subjected to high-pressure water jets to remove any loose dirt, dust, or debris. Then, a specialized cleaning solution or detergent is applied to dissolve and remove any oil, grease, or stubborn stains. The coils are rinsed thoroughly to ensure the removal of all cleaning agents, followed by drying to prevent corrosion.

Q:Can steel coils be coated with luminescent materials?

Yes, steel coils can be coated with luminescent materials.

Q:How are steel coils used in the production of transportation equipment?

Steel coils are used in the production of transportation equipment as they provide the necessary strength and durability required for components such as chassis, frames, and body panels. These coils are shaped, cut, and welded to create different parts, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and trains.

Q:Steel Strings on your guitar or nylons? Why?

Steel because I bought a steel string guitar and that's what goes on it. Had I bought a classical guitar I would put nylon strings on it, but I don't particularly want to play classical guitar music, so I bought a steel string guitar. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Q:I have a mountain bike w/ 26 wheels. My question is what's the biggest difference between aluminum vs. steel? If most of my riding is off-road, wouldn't the steel wheels be stronger/more durable?

You would think that is the case, right? Well, it isn't. Steel rims are necessarily made of very thin sheet. This sheet, when formed into a rim tends to dent very easily. On top of that, because the material is so thin it can and does flex- a lot. Aluminum rims on the other hand are formed by a process called extrusion... basically, a big block of material is shoved through a die (think PlayDoh shape maker) and then formed into rims. This forming process along with the stiffer nature of aluminum (in this instance) makes an aluminum rim far stronger and far lighter than a steel counterpart.

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

Steel coils are commonly used in the manufacturing of seat structures as they provide strength and durability. These coils are typically shaped and molded into springs that are then integrated into the seat cushions and frames. The steel coils help to provide support and enhance the overall comfort of the seats by ensuring proper weight distribution and minimizing sagging over time.
