i dont think it has 1..... if it does its a safe guess of millions of years

Answer:

Half life is a concept used in connection with radioactive materials. it is the time required for half of the atoms to fission naturally. Steel is not radioactive.

Some researchers use the term half-life as a measure of persistence in the environment or chemical reaction for any active material. In this sense the half-life of steel would be the time for half of the mass to oxidize or erode. With the various alloys which are called steel and the various conditions that they are exposed to there is no standard reference time frame for this reaction.

Unless there you are talking about a specific isotope aluminum has no half life because it is a stable element.

What is the halflife of an M16?

Of course, "halflife" is not the correct term to use in this context, so I am supposing that you are asking how long as in "how many years of use" or "how many rounds fired" can you expect an M16 to function. This is also called "service life". The answer depends entirely on how the machine is treated. If it is properly cleaned and has minor parts replaced as they wear and break, the rifle will last for many years and/or many tens of thousands of rounds. You can research the endurance testing that the US Army has employed to determine the tolerance to hard use. "Halflife" refers to radioactive material and is the amount of time required for half of the material to decay.


What is halflife about?

Half-life is the time it takes for one half of the radioactive material to decay. It is logarithmic, so after two half-lives, one quarter remains - then one eighth - etc.

How do scientists use the halflife of radioactive isotopes to date rocks and fossils?

The basic idea is to compare the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope within a material to the abundance of its decay products; it is known how fast the radioactive isotope decays.
