High tensile steel may have ten times the tensile strength of wood, and more than twice that of mild steel, but it would be a mistake to overestimate the importance of this single quantity, as Fuller seems to do

What are the disadvantages of having iron armor?

The hardness and tensile strength provided by iron armor in comparison to its weight. The same hardness and/or tensile strenght can be matched or beaten by lighter alloys.


Would a steel or iron chain be tougher to break?

Steel, which has a higher tensile strenght than pure iron, would be toughest to break. Steel is an iron alloy.


Is iron tensile strength?

no iron has any tensile strength

How do use braze cast iron?

yes it can although it is not reccomended, if this is your only option preheat the cast iron to almost cherry red and weld with a low hydrogen rod such as 7018


Why plastics are not used for building bridges?

I will try to answer it as far as my knowledge in structural engineer goes: There are to main types of forces (besides winds, laterals, etc) that actuate in a bridge: tensile strenght and yield strenght. The first has to do with how much weight can a material handle by "squeezing" it, before it breaks. The second has to do with how much you can stretch a material before it deforms, and go back to its original shape. Basically how elastic a material is. Steel is extremely elastic and also can offer a high tensile strenght. Concrete offers tensile strenght but is not too elastic (unless it has rebaring inside). That's why most bridges are made of steel. A plastic material (oppose to elastic) would deform and won't go back to it's original shape. Hope it helps.


What is technical specification of galvanised iron sheet?

Tensile strength for gi material


Is high tensile steel ferrous?

YES!!!! Because the word 'ferrous' is from Latin, and means 'iron'. Steel of any description is an alloy of iron and other metals/elements.


What is the tensile strength of iron and how does it compare to other materials?

The tensile strength of iron is typically around 370 MPa. This is higher than materials like aluminum and copper, but lower than materials like steel and titanium.


Where do you get hm strenght in Pokemon platinum?

Why was the use of iron important?

because of its density,good conductivity,great tensile strength


Why does iron have a melting point?

Iron atoms are quite dense and heavy. Their atomic cohesion also accounts for the tensile strength and high melting point.
