Q:I just purchased this Benchmade knife with m390 steel blade and it cost me a fortune but I wanted to know if this new steel is a tool steel. what classifies a tool steel. M390 = 1.9 carbon, 20. chromium, .30 manganese, 1. molybdenum, .60silicon, .60 tugsten, 4. vanadium at 60-62 HRC

Not all tool steels work well in knife blades, but some of them are very popular. D2, M2, M4 and many others.

Q:hey... i don't need to change my strings, but i found a set of Bronze acoustic guitar strings by pure tone... i have a few questions on them:can i put them on a steel string guitar? i know i can't put nylon strings on... but i don't see why i can't put bronzethey are light gauze... i have no idea what my current gauze is, but i play in Dropped D tuning... so would the E/D string (6th) be too loose? finally, can you get strings designed to be played in Drop D?any help is apprechiated :D

I don't see why not. Put them on and try it out.

Q:I want to know what to my wash stainless fridge door with before applying the stainless steel polish.

Quite a few companies make stainless steel cleaners. Don't use Windex, I was told when we bought our stainless fridge and stove. Go to Home Depot or a store like it and I am sure they will have some to choose from. I bought these pre-treated wipes for Stainless Steel at Bath Beyond (like Lysol makes) and they work wonders for a quick cleaning. Linens N Things also has some wipes.

Q:What is the average size of a steel coil?

The average size of a steel coil can vary depending on the specific industry and application. However, typical sizes range from 0.15mm to 3.5mm in thickness and 600mm to 2,000mm in width. The coil diameter can also vary, usually ranging from 600mm to 2,000mm.

Q:So...that means Wolverine can stab him, right? Because Adamantite is stronger than steel. Correct?

Faster than a Speeding bullet too!! They are just expressions/nicknames. Obviously he's faster than a speeding bullet, he can run from Kansas to Mexico and back and you wouldn't even know it. If you want it literally, just call him Superman, or extremely tough and fast man.

Q:What are the different types of steel coil packaging systems?

There are several different types of steel coil packaging systems available, including horizontal coil packaging systems, vertical coil packaging systems, and automatic coil packaging systems. Each type offers unique features and benefits depending on the specific requirements of the steel coil packaging process.

Q:How are steel coils used in the shipbuilding industry?

Steel coils are used in the shipbuilding industry for various purposes such as constructing the ship's hull, decks, and other structural components. These coils are typically cut and shaped to form different sections, plates, or beams that are then welded together to create the ship's framework. Additionally, steel coils are also used for manufacturing equipment, machinery, and other components required for shipbuilding.

Q:how many persent of manganese in all types of carbon steel

No problem with other answers but there is a high carbon/manganese steel called Hadfields Steel which has been used as armour plate in pilots seats in fighter aircraft in the second world war.This steel contains about 13% manganese and about 1.5 % carbon and is non-magnetic because it retains it's high temperature crystal type(austenite).When it is stuck with a bullet it absorbs the energy of the strike by changing crystal structure to the magnetic form of iron(in this case shock Martensite),I should think that it still has a role in the scoops and picks in earth-moving and farming blades.Well you did ask about all types of carbon steel!

Q:What are the limitations of using steel coils in certain applications?

One limitation of using steel coils in certain applications is their susceptibility to corrosion. Steel coils can rust when exposed to moisture or harsh environments, which can affect their structural integrity and performance. Additionally, steel coils can be heavy and bulky, making them less suitable for applications that require lightweight materials or intricate designs. Finally, steel coils may not be suitable for applications that require specific electrical or thermal conductivity properties, as steel is not the most conductive material in these aspects.

Q:What is the maximum width of steel coils?

The maximum width of steel coils is subject to variation, influenced by factors like steel type, manufacturing capabilities, and intended usage. Nevertheless, in most cases, steel coils tend to have a maximum width of approximately 2,200 millimeters or 86.6 inches. This width is widely employed in the steel industry for coils of standard sizes. It is worth mentioning that wider widths may be achievable through specialized steel coils or custom manufacturing methods, albeit less frequently and possibly necessitating particular equipment or processes.
