Why does a blacksmith hammer a hot piece of iron while making a tool?
To shape metal you must hit it when it's hot. The colder iron, the less easily you can shape it. In addition, it can break if it's not hot. When iron is heated sufficiently, it becomes plastic, and it can be deformed without breaking. It can be worked easily and effectively by a smith when it's hot.
What type of weld is it when the edge of one piece of metal is placed at ninety degrees on the surface of another piece of metal?
Two pieces of metal welded at a 90 degree angle is called a corner joint. Other common joint types: -Butt joint: two pieces of metal laid side by side and welded at the meet, essentially forming one sheet. -Lap joint: similar to a butt joint, but with overlap between the two pieces. -Tee joint: one piece is welded at a 90 degree angle to the second, but not at the edge (forming a 'T' shape).
If you use a hacksaw to cut a piece of metal why do they both become hot?
due to heat generated by friction of two metallic surfaces
What is Pittsburghh joint in HAVC duct work?
Refer to the SMACNA reference for metal duct construction. The Pittsburg joint is used for most commonly fabricated metal retangular ducts. Most modern sheetmetal fabrication shops use a mechanized piece of equipment to create the Pittsbugh joint on one edge of the sheet metal that is being formed into a retangular duct. The Pittburgh joint is basically a series of bends in the sheetmetal that create a female joint that will accept the male end of the rectangular duct. The female joint includes an extended section of sheet metal that is mechanically or manually hammered over the male edge of the sheet metal once it is positioned within the Pittsburgh joint. It is much easier to understand when viewing a piece of flat piece of sheet metal that is being formed into a section of duct with a mechanized piece of equipment found in most sheet metal shops. I have created a Pittsburgh joint with a manual hand break for specialized duct fittings. I hope the information has been helpful. Ralph Pimentel C.B.O.

metal
A piece of nonmagnetic metal that becomes magnetized when an electric current flows around it is called an?
electromagnet
What is the first color of light that you can see when a piece of metal is heated?
The first color will be red - generally a strong red, becoming more orange as the metal gets hotter.
What happens when a piece of metal is always heated?
It will bend eventually because u have heated it up so much it wouldn't be able to function It becomes molten like the lava in the earth.
A piece of nonmagnetic metal that becomes magnetized when an electric current flows around is called?
Electromagnet perhaps?
When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?
No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.
What Gas is metal?
The gas metal arc welding that is also called the metal inert gas. It is a welding process whereby the electric arc forms between the work piece metals and the consumable wire electrode.
What is the metal piece on the circuit breaker preventing it from tripping?
A circuit breaker is designed so that it will trip when the electric current is too high. That is the purpose of a circuit breaker. If there is a metal piece on the circuit breaker that prevents it from tripping, it is useless. Perhaps someone has altered it.
What is gilding in art?
It's the application of a thin layer of precious metal (usually gold) to a piece of artwork - whether that's a picture or a statue.
