What is Metalized plastic?
This may not be correct, but metal/plastic is a special plastic like fiber that is even stronger then metal and lighter, too
How is steel made stronger?
No, metal becomes much weaker. When metal is heated the metals atoms and molecules increase in kinetic energy therefore making it much more stretchy and bendable. That's why blacksmiths heat their metal before they do their project.
Is the kinetic theory of matter the same as the particle theory of matter and what are they?
No they are not the same. The kinetic theory of matter is a mathematical mechanism for thermodynamics which studies a collection of particles at once. For instance in an inert gas like Argon or N3, the kinetic theory of matter leads us to the ideal gas law PV=nRT. This theory deals with a chunk of matter at a time, assuming it to be both continuous and discrete. On the other hand, the particle theory of matter is one of the backbones to the kinetic theory. It was described by Neils Bohr to describe the vast emptiness of space in a sheet of metal. The particle theory of matter is the idea that matter consists of small particles we know as atoms but that those atoms consist of smaller particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. This theory is the study of how individual particles come together to form chunks of matter.
Why electromagnet is used for separating plastic bags?
An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.An electromagnet can attract the metal, leaving the plastic behind.
What is stronger wood or metal?
no wood is not stronger than steel. yes becasue steel is stronger than wood.

Which is better, metal or plastic framed sunglasses?
Plastic frames are lighter and metal are often stronger, it all depends on the manufacturing process and brand name.
Why is there metal on a fringe door?
A metal hinge is still stronger and thinner than a plastic hinge, and is less likely to fail.
What is a paint can made of including the inside lining?
The plastic cans are just plastic, the metal cans are lined with a coat on teflon or lacquer.
What wheels are better for a scooter metal or plastic?
Metal because they are much stronger... I would recommend eagle sport wheel as they are the strongest metal core wheel or get yak metal core.
What is slip line field theory and how is it applied in metal forming processes?
a slip line field theory is a theory as the name suggets that can be used to analyse among others metal forming processes during plastic deformation. it is assumed that plastic deformation in metals happen through shearing. in a nutshell the slip line theory divides the plastic zone of the metal into slip lines or surfaces if you like which are perpendicular to one another at the intersection. It is then along these lines maximum shear takes place. The method can be used to estimate forming loads, pressure, material flow in different areas of the plastic region, adiabatic temperature increase, friction etc. Limitations. Used in plain strain conditions the metal is considered to be ideally plastic, that is the metal has indefinite ductility. - boundary conditions e.g friction, loaded surface, free surface, must be taken into consideration while applying the theory. pretty powerful in metal forming but also in geology
Is a perforated metal or expanded metal table stronger?
perforated metal is stronger

Are Beyblades metal plastic?
No there metal not plastic the top has plastic
Are plastic trash cans as durable as metal trash cans?
In theory, it would seem that a metal trash can would be more durable. However, there are many durable plastic trash cans for sale that can withhold a lot of wear and tear.
How do you join a metal to plastic?
melt the plastic to the metal
What has the author Anand Raman written?
