No, spelter is not magnetic. Spelter is simply a synonym for zinc and is similar to copper or brass as well.

What is the melting temperature of brazing spelter?

Brass and bronze brazing alloys typically melt at temperatures from 1500 degrees F to 2000 degrees F. Silver brazing alloys melt at temperatures as low as 1145 degrees F. Nickel silver brazing alloys melt at temperatures around 1200 degrees F, but can be worked up to 1750 degrees F.


How do you magnetize steel bar?

a steel bar is a magnetically susceptable material. if you apply a magnetic field through the steel bar, such as applying a DC current through a solenoid winded around it, it will become magnetized. Just rubbing a magnet against the steel bar will help align all the magnetic dipoles in a general direction for it to be considered a magnet.

How do power plants work?

A diesel engine converts the energy contained in the diesel fuel into mechanical energy in the form of rotation of a shaft. The shaft turns a generator which is essentially a magnet contained within a coil of wire. The generator converts the rotational energy into a voltage across the coil - electrical energy. Diesel plants are used primarily in two applications: 1. There is a need for an emergency source of backup electrical power, and the relatively low 'first cost' of diesel generation combined with its ability to start up rather rapidly (often in 10 sec or less) are attractive features. Incidentally, there is a special case of this 'emergency' application - in the entertainment industry, it is common for diesel gensets to be used to power lights and sound for special events. For example, rock musicians often bring in special diesel power plants to support their performances rather than relying on the available commercial supplier. Another special case is that for the past several cycles, NBC's broadcasts of the Olympics have been powered by diesel gensets. Olympics venues are often in remote areas where the existing power infrastructure is limited and it doesn't make economic sense to expand those facilities for games lasting only two-three weeks. Also, that has allowed NBC to design one set of broadcast equipment so that they don't have to deal with the fact that the frequency of indigenous power infrastructure varies from one host country to the next. 2. There is a need for a base-load source of modest size and low first cost. This is most often the case in areas where there is no commercial power supplier, and the amount of capacity that is needed is relatively small. The downside of diesel plants include: 1. They are very noisy. 2. They are not very efficient - diesel engines produce a lot of waste heat. Practical economies exist only if there are no local sources of fuel, and the cost of transporting diesel fuel is favorable compared with the cost of bringing in the fuels required for alternative technologies. 3. Diesel fuel has to be transported to and stored on the site. Diesel power plants that have operated for a number of years in developing areas are typically horrible examples of environmental contamination. 4. The airborn effluent from diesel plants is noxious. 5. Diesel engines require a lot of maintenance.
