Metals are easy to bend because they have a crystalline structure that allows layers of atoms to slide past each other. When a force is applied, these layers can easily move, allowing the metal to be bent without breaking. Additionally, the metallic bonds between atoms are flexible, enabling the metal to change shape without losing its overall structure.
What is the definition of flammability?
It means that it is able to catch on fire.
How flammable something is. More simply, how easy something will catch in fire.
Flammability (flammable) means something is able to catch on fire.
It is to do with the bonding between atoms in the metal. A mettalic bond occurs in most metal alloys. It is when the electrons from the atoms are free to move around and no longer attached to any individual atoms. The atoms are effectivly in a sea of electrons. This gives them greater movement abilities so the metal can be bent.
Does Cor-ten steel need to be sealed?
Answer is: no! For the simple reason that it will not last (comes off after while). Also: this prevents just that what one want to achieve, a velvet corroded/weathering look. Sealing only works for indoor applications, you than have to pre rust the material. How do I know all this: we have a lot of experience in executing facade projects in cor-ten, so its simple a matter of experience! For projects in cor-ten visit: www.van-dam.nl , it will surprise you
What is the hardest natural material known to man?
There is actually no scientifically accepted 'hardest' substance known to man and there are a lot of debates over this.
It's a common misconception that diamond is the hardest but variations of substances like Boron and minerals like Lonsdaleite are actually tougher than diamonds.
How does a nuclear powered rocket work?
A nuclear powered rocket is a special type of very high temperature gas cooled nuclear reactor. Because it will probably be used in space, it will have to carry its own tank of coolant (probably in the form of liquid hydrogen). The coolant makes one pass through the reactor core, then exits through an expansion nozzle much like that on conventional rockets to produce thrust.
Several prototypes were built and tested in the 1950s and early 1960s, but no production models were made as research stopped when the Limited Test Ban Treaty was signed in 1963, which banned atmospheric nuclear tests.
How do you compute BTU of a heater using CFM and output temperature?
I'm not sure and will have to research this, but let me kick it off by writing Btus/hr = CFM X 1.08 X temperature rise. Hopefully, others will weigh in and contribute further to this answer. (Since I supervise Units and Unit Conversions, I would like to admonish people to use the units Btus/hr, not just Btus, when referring to power.)
What is the temperature in a vacuum?
In an absolutely perfect vacuum, there is no defined temperature at all. The temperature simply doesn't mean anything. Of course, there isn't really anything that is a perfect vacuum.
At very high vacuum, at equilibrium, the temperature will be determined by whatever the container holding the vacuum is in thermal contact with. Something inside an imperfect vacuum isn't at any particular temperature -- if it is at equilibrium, it will be at whatever temperature the things around it are at. However, the rate at which is reaches equilibrium with may be very slow because of the vacuum. If it not at equilibrium, then the object in the vacuum will be at whatever temperature it was set at until it reaches equilibrium with the things around it.
In reinforced concrete construction, the modular ratio refers to the modulus of elasticity of concrete to that of steel. It is used in structural design calculations to determine distribution of stresses between concrete and steel in beams and columns.
How is packaging mass produced?
Packaging is mass-produced by using machines that can fold, cut, and glue large volumes of material quickly. Automation and assembly line processes are often used to streamline production and increase efficiency. Modern technologies such as digital printing and 3D printing have also played a role in advancing mass production of packaging.

What are the various grades of TMT steel bars?
TMT (Thermo-Mechanically Treated) steel bars are available in various grades, each designed to meet specific performance requirements and applications in construction. The selection of the appropriate grade depends on factors such as structural design, load-bearing capacity, environmental conditions, and building codes. Some of the common grades of TMT steel bars include:
1. Fe-415: This grade of TMT bar is one of the most widely used and suitable for general construction purposes. The "Fe" stands for iron, while "415" denotes the minimum yield strength of the bar in megapascals (MPa). Fe-415 TMT bars offer adequate strength and ductility for residential and commercial buildings.
2. Fe-500: TMT bars with a grade of Fe-500 possess higher tensile strength compared to Fe-415 bars, making them suitable for structures subjected to heavier loads and seismic forces. These bars are commonly used in high-rise buildings, bridges, and infrastructure projects where enhanced strength is required.
3. Fe-550: TMT bars of Fe-550 grade offer even higher tensile strength and superior ductility, making them ideal for applications demanding greater structural integrity and resistance to dynamic loads. Fe-550 bars are commonly used in industrial structures, power plants, and heavy infrastructure projects.
4. Fe-600: This grade of TMT bar provides the highest level of tensile strength and ductility among commonly available grades. Fe-600 bars are utilized in specialized applications where exceptional structural performance is paramount, such as in pre-stressed concrete structures and high-rise buildings in seismic zones.
5. Corrosion-Resistant (CRS) TMT Bars: In addition to standard grades, corrosion-resistant TMT bars are also available to mitigate the effects of corrosion in aggressive environments such as coastal areas or industrial settings. These bars are specially designed with added corrosion-resistant elements such as copper, chromium, or zinc to enhance their longevity and durability.
It's essential for builders, engineers, and contractors to carefully evaluate the requirements of their construction projects and select the appropriate grade of TMT bars to ensure optimal performance, durability, and structural safety. Additionally, adherence to relevant national and international standards and codes is imperative when specifying TMT steel bars for construction applications.
What does boiler blowdown means?
Boiler blowdown is required to prevent corrosion by removing impurities that contribute to its formation in a steam boiler and to facilitate the generation of pure steam by preventing the carryover of impurities. Why Boiler Blowdown is Required? Proper blowdown procedures are necessary to maintain the solids content of the boiler water within specific limits and to quickly eliminate contaminants if the water becomes contaminated.

How do you make an airplane out of cardboard?
# Step 1 Find a rectangular cardboard box or carton. Milk cartons work very well, but anything that is a long and narrow will do. This is your fuselage. # Step 2 Make the wings. Cut a piece of cardboard into a long, narrow rectangle or equilateral triangle. Glue the wings to the top of the box near the front. # Step 3 Make the tail. Cut a shorter triangle out of cardboard. Glue it to the top of the box at the back. # Step 4 Make the tail fin. Cut a triangle out of cardboard and glue it on top of the tail flaps. You may have to reinforce it with tape to get it to stand up straight. # Step 5 Paint the box all one color. White or a light color will work best, because it will make it easier to add details later. # Step 6 Paint the window to the cockpit on the front of the box. Paint the pilot and copilot sitting in their seats. # Step 7 Paint a row of windows on each side of the plane as black arches. Inside each window, paint someone looking out. # Step 8 Paint a flag or insignia on the tail fin, such as your name or simply a design that appeals to you.
Material: 2 litre pop bottle (empty) -- coat hanger wire - 12-15 cm long - straight -- empty film container -- tin can (tomato can) -- masking tape -- string -- aerosol can cap -- copper wire Method: 1) Cut 4 slits in the film container, 1 cm long at equal distances between them. From a tin can cut 4 blades for the water wheel. 2) Push the smaller end into the slits. 3) Make a hole with a nail in the exact center of the lid and the bottom of the film container. 4) Push the coat hanger wire through the holes to make an axle for the wheel. 5) Cut off the top of the pop bottle and make two holes at the opposite ends, about 4 cm from the top. These holes accept the axle - coat hanger wire. 6) Wind a short piece of wire around the end of the axle just outside the bottle so that it will not move out. 7) Make a spool out of the longer end of the axle using two pieces of cardboard glued on it. 8) Tie a string about a metre long to the spool and hang a "bucket", the cap of the aerosol can. 9) Pour a stream of water on the blades of the wheel and the wheel turns. 10) The string winds itself onto the spool and the "bucket" is lifted up.
What is the purpose of hidden lines and center lines?
The purpose of hidden lines is to represent edges that are not directly visible. The purpose of center lines is to represent the axes of circular features.
What causes insulation breakdown in transformers?
The main cause of insulation breakdown is excessive temperature. However, it can also be caused by excessively-high electrical stress due to sharp corners or other protrusions in the conductor which act to intensify the electric field beyond the capability of the insulation.
What kind of concrete should be used when making a concrete patio?
C25 Blended. Would be more than strong enough if there are just people walking on it. 10mm stone will give a better finnish too. Regards Colin
What do the colors on a resistor mean?
Most resistors have either 3 or 4 color bands. The fourth, if it is there, only indicates the tolerance, or how accurate the value is. For the first three bands, the following colors may be used: black = 0 or X1 brown = 1 or X10 red = 2 or X100 orange = 3 or X1000 yellow = 4 or X10000 green = 5 or X100000 blue = 6 or X1000000 violet = 7 gray = 8 white = 9 A resistor uses the first two color bands to form a 2 digit number, then a third band to add a multiplier. For instance, suppose you have a resistor that has a red, violet, brown color code. Decoding: red = 2 violet = 7 27 brown = X10 27 * 10 = 270 In this case, you are holding a 270 ohm resistor. How about a 2.2K resistor? Well, K = 1000, so 2.2K is the same as 2200 ohms. Reverse decoding: The first two bands would have to be red, red (22). To get to 2200 from 22 we have to multiply by 100, so the third band would also be red (X100). The last, or fourth band indicates how close to the nominal value the resistor is. The band colors are: none = 20% silver = 10% gold = 5% So, if the 2.2K resistor is red, red, red, silver, it means the actual resistance can be as much as 10% (or 220 ohms) higher or lower than 2.2K, or anywhere from 1980 ohms to 2420 ohms. You can get resistors with better accuracy than 5%, such as 2%, 1%, 0.1%. Some use three number bands and a fourth multiplier band, others have no bands at all, just the actual resistance printed as a number on the body. If in doubt, measure the resistor with an ohmmeter to be sure.
