What else can I help you with?
Is steel stronger than aluminum?
It heavily depends on which type of stainless steel you're referring to and what your definition of strong is. High carbon and perhaps plain carbon steels would be harder then austenite and ferritic stainless, but martensitic stainless would be harder then plain/high carbon. Austenite and ferritic stainless would be tougher and austenite would have have highest degree of corrosion resistance. I consider a steel to be "strong" if it has a balance of hardness and toughness in which case,I would say martensitic stainless steels.
Is quartz stronger than stainless steel?
yes
Why is stainless steel more likely to suffer from distortion than carbon steels?
high thermal expansion
What is the specific gravity of stainless steel?
Steel has a Specific Gravity of 7.83. This means that a cubic foot of steel weighs 7.83 times more than a cubic foot of water (which weighs 62.4 pounds)
Why do you use a 400 series stainless steel?
Unlike the 300 series stainless 400 series stainless can be hardened by heat giving moderate corrosion resistance with more durability than 300 series stainless. It is commonly used in pump shafts for equipment requiring a higher torque spec than 316 SS can provide
Is lead heavier than stainless steel?
Lead is much heavier than stainless steel.
Will copper scratch stainless steel?
Yes, copper is softer than stainless steel and can scratch it if rubbed against it with enough force. It's recommended to avoid using copper utensils or cleaning tools on stainless steel surfaces to prevent scratching.
How much heavier is a stainless steel microwave?
Some of the older stainless steel microwaves can be a bit heavier than conventional microwave. However they have developed stainless steel microwaves that are made with a lighter stainless steel casing making them less heavy.
Is copper cheaper than stainless steel?
Yes, brass is cheaper than copper.
Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
Why is iron heavier than copper?
Copper is more dense than iron, if that is what is being asked. The density of copper is about 8.94 grams per cubic centimeter. Iron had a density of about 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter.
Is brass heavier than steel?
No, steel is generally heavier than brass. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with a density greater than that of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.
What are the pros and cons of stainless coffee makers?
Stainless steel coffee makers will give you what their name states; a stainless coffee maker. The downside to stainless steel is that it is heavier than what plastic coffee makers would weigh.
Are Stainless steel cokware with cooper bottam is better?
Copper conducts heat better than stainless steel. If you can afford the copper, go for it. If not, stainless steel will work fine for just about anything. Also, bare stainless conducts heat much better than non-stick. So for browning food, non-stick pans should be avoided (and copper bottom bare pans would be best).
Why is the Tools of the Trade Belgique stainless steel more expensive than the copper bottom Belgique at Macy's?
The copper bottom pieces are easier to make than the stainless steel ones. The stainless steel pieces actually have a copper bottom, but it's clad on the bottom and a stainless steel skin is welded over it. Notice how there is a little "pedestal" on the bottom of the stainless pieces? Yup. That's the copper insert sandwiched on the bottom. And you know the difference as far as cleaning them, yes? Copper always seems to take a little more work. But gosh, doesn't it look nice! Belgique makes some good looking pieces. Yes, indeedy. Best of luck making your choice. Bon appétit!
What is the thermal conductivity of a stainless pot compared to a copper-bottomed pot?
They're the same, actually. Copper-clad pots are always made out of stainless steel, so the pots are identical. The trick is that a copper-clad stainless pot absorbs heat better due to the copper cladding - the copper conducts heat better than stainless.
What is Carbon steel and stainless steel?
Carbon steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon, no chromium, and contains copper and magnesium not more than 0.6% Stainless steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon and it contains chromium and it's resistive to corrosion
