Sheet metal

HARDNESS Hardness of a material is most commonly defined as the measure of its resistance to penentration by an indenter.Hardness is also measure of strength and often has the units of stress .The indenter is often fabricated from a hard material such as diamond or hardened steel.The tips of the indenters may be conical,pyramidal,or spherical in shape.The indenter tips may also be relatively small(nano-or micro-indenters) or very large(macroindenters).Since indentation tests are relatively easy…

Introduction Section- The purpose of this experiment is to use reaction stoichiometry to determine the molar mass and the identity of an unknown, powdered metal, and to identify an unknown metal nitrate solution. To give a little background information on this experiment I will start by saying that a balanced chemical equation provides several important pieces of information about a chemical equation. Those important pieces include the substances consumed and formed, the physical states of the…

have any effects on the body and they are removed from the body (Edta, 2016). So this means that adding EDTA has removed all the metal ions that were free in solution. As the specific activity of the Arginase is zero when EDTA is added it shows that Arginase required metal ions in solution to be active. This means that Arginase is a metallo-enzyme as it requires a metal ion to be…

Explain this using the information in the chemical equation. The magnesium did not leave a significant odor because it is a pure metal, and pure metals are known for not leaving a distinguished scent when burned. 2MgO also tells us that oxygen is also the final reactant in reaction #2, and we know that oxygen does not leave a significant odor like other gases. So when Magnesium and Oxygen…

Zinc has been used to create reliable alloys since 500 BC [4]. These alloys included brass (copper + zinc) and supplemented bronze (copper + zinc + tin). So what gives zinc this amazing property to alloy usefully with other metals? Simply put, electron structure. Pure zinc is a unfavorable material to use, it has a low toughness and is generally brittle with a strength less than steal. These properties make it unusable in most modern mechanical processes. The structure of zinc…

Zirconia is an alternative material to titanium, and offers the following advantages. Less Allergic Complications The primary reason patients use a zirconia implant is due to an allergy to titanium. If you are not sure if you have an allergy to this metal, you should undergo testing to find out how your body will react to it. It’s possible for you to be allergic to zirconia as well, so make sure that you…

Then I dipped it in the water. The next time we came the mine I tried the chisel for a while, however heat treating also makes the metal more brittle and after only an hour or so it shattered. Then I remembered that my blow torch was in the car, the melting temperature of copper was 1,984 F, and my blow torch could reach that temperature. I ran outside grabbed my blow torch and held…

Powder coating is the process you use to apply a coating without using solvents. This is the newest coating technique in the industry right now. You usually apply this type of coating to create a hard finish on metals and because it allows you flexibility to apply on a different layers of thickness. You would see this finishing in materials such as aluminum, medium density fiberboards, fusion-bonded epoxy and acrylics, usually on automobile finishing. To produce the powdered finishing, polymer…

The chemical Mercury, symbolized as Hg, is an element most prominently found as a solid metal throughout Earth’s surface. It is a naturally occurring element found in Earth’s soil, water and air. To name a few examples of how Mercury is created, there are forest fires and volcanic eruptions whose combustion creates Mercury. In addition, humans also create Mercury through incinerators used in power plants. Mercury is known to be very poisonous to humans and affects many organisms ranging from…

Corrosion is when metals or other materials corrode over time. “Corrosion is a two-step process that requires three things: a metallic surface, an electrolyte, and oxygen. During the corrosion process, surface-level metal atoms dissolve into an aqueous solution, leaving the metal with an excess of negative charge.”(Corrosion, Boundless Chemistry, First two bullet points) The nail will undergo a corrosion process as it is placed in the cup filled with salt water. However, depending on the coating…
