Tank treads are typically protected by a combination of materials, including rubber, metal, and composite materials. The rubber is often used to provide traction and reduce noise, while metal components enhance durability and resistance to wear. Additionally, some tanks may use advanced composite materials to further increase strength and reduce weight, thereby improving overall performance and operational efficiency.

Why are caterpillar used in battle tanks instead of tires?
A tank uses caterpiller-like treads instead of tires, because the treads give much better traction when traveling cross country (where most tank battles take place).
Where are rubber stair treads used?
Rubber stair treads are commonly used in indoor and outdoor locations with high foot traffic, such as commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. They provide a durable and slip-resistant surface to improve safety and protect the underlying stairs from wear and tear.

Why were tires rationed during World War 2?
Because the rubber in tires was being used for war supplies including tank treads and jeep tires.
Why don't cars use tank treads?
It takes a lot more force to keep treads rolling along than it takes to keep wheels rolling along. And they cause more wear on roads. So they're only used where they're absolutely needed.

What will clog a septic tank?
tennis ballsWell, yes, a tennis ball would clog up a septic tank, if you used enough of them. Any man-made material, esp. latex can stop septic action. Or perhaps the tank is just full.Try adding dry yeast to the tank.
Why the wheels used in tank are not use in day to day automobile cars?
Tanks use the caterpillar treads, drive sprockets and road wheels that allow tanks to travel across harsh terrain off-road (across ditches, through shallow water obstacles, on wet ground, over walls, over barbed wire fences, up or down steep slopes, etc.). These treads also better distribute the vehicle's weight on ground and decrease the pounds per square inch exerted on the ground. Automobiles do not need to do these things. Automobiles use tires on roadways that reduce friction, increase maximum speed & fuel economy. This drive system also causes less wear & tear to the vehicle and much less damage to roadways. A tank's drive train causes damage to roadways when the tank turns, because in turns the caterpillar treads on one side turn slower then the treads on the opposite side. This causes one set of treads (even with rubber pads) to scrape on the roadway. This is a particular problem for asphalt roads, because asphalt is softer than concrete. The sharper the turn, the worse the damage to the asphalt road. These are just a few things to consider.
