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

Non Stick is good for frying, sauteeing, etc., but I find they don't tend to last as long as regular stainless steel pans because they can get scratched relatively easy if you use metal stirring utensils. Stainless steel is good for soups, stews, or if you plan to use a metal stirring utensil (whisk, fork, etc.). I use both non-stick and stainless steel pots and pans. I think the most useful pots/pans I have are my medium-sized, non-stick frying pan and my small, stainless steel dutch oven.

Q:Can we construct a barn using steel and will it be a durable one?

Steel barns in the USA is the going fad; they are both strong and economical; and some companies offer DIY kits

Q:What's the best material for color coated steel coil?

Color steel roll is a kind of composite material, also called color coating steel plate. It is produced by continuous coating on the production line by surface degreasing and phosphating etc. after being coated with organic coating, the product is made by baking. Color steel roll is a composite material, both steel and organic materials, both of them a little. Both the mechanical strength of steel plate and easy molding performance, but also organic materials, good decoration, corrosion resistance.

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

Steel coils are used in the production of steel drums as they are unrolled and shaped into cylindrical forms to create the body of the drum. These coils are cut, welded, and sealed to form a solid and durable structure, which serves as a container for storing and transporting various materials such as liquids, chemicals, and even food products.

Q:What type of metal is T10 tool steel?

Carbon Tool Steel usually in the form of forged bar stock. Steel Grades for tool steel can be any of the following (depending on the application) T10/1.1645 SK3/SK4/W1A-91/2/ TC105/y10/1880/BW1B T10A/1.1545/y10A/1880 Standards are published by: DIN, JIS, ASTM, AISI, BS, SS, ISO, TOCT, GB Doug

Q:How would you calculate the maximum plastic deformation (expansion) a steel pipe can handle before it actually fails?

You can calculate the maximum reversible strain, for elastic loading as follows: You need to look up the yield strength (for that particular type of steel). Divide this yield strength by the elastic modulus of steel (also called Young's modulus). That gives you the strain at the onset of yielding, the maximum you can strain the steel fibers before crossing the point of no return. If you are interested in the strain until failure, you need to take tensile test measurements. Seldom do people document an equation to model the non-elastic portion of the stress-strain curve of the specimen, because seldom do we design systems to operate with materials which yield. We want systems which only deform reversibly and elastically. This means you need to perform an experiment to find what you are actually desiring to know.

Q:Went to top gun range in Houston, Tx. Guy there said no steel bullets..Anyone know why? Think i can shoot them anywhere else? Perhaps an outdoor gun range? The are monarch FMJ 9mm steel rounds..Thanks!

However, I cannot under any circumstance travel with loaded rifle magazines in my car. Those I have to load at the range because it would be illegal for me to travel to the range with loaded magazines. Even if I don't have a rifle in the car, I cannot possess loaded rifle magazines while traveling. All long guns (shotguns included) must be unloaded and secured in the vehicle, including magazines or tubes. There are several states with restrictions against traveling with loaded rifle magazines, so I'd suggest you check your state laws first, and if it is permissible in your state, then find out if the range will allow it too.

Q:How are steel coils used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels?

Steel coils are used in the manufacturing of pressure vessels as they provide a strong and durable material for constructing the vessel's shell. The coils are typically rolled and welded to form the cylindrical shape of the pressure vessel, ensuring high structural integrity and the ability to withstand high pressure.

Q:Not sure if stainless steel is actually sealable but what's the best way to clean a brushed stainless steel appliance to not get so many finger prints...etc. I have stainless steel wipes that I used on another appliance and they don't work so great.

Straight white vinegar on a clean white cloth does an amazing job on all my appliances. Makes the kitchen smell great to.

Q:I want to replace the old refrigator within the next 6 months........ Is the trend to buy a stainless steel refrigerator? Some magazines and internet sites are pointing me that direction. What are the pro's and con's ? I like the color bisque, or cream-color as well, or better, than stainless steel. What would be the reasons to buy stainless steel...is it becoming the most popular color ?

It's not about color necessarily. Stainless steel is easier to clean and for the most part scratch resistant. It's easier to take care of.
