for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department.” Some may agree with him and others may not, but for Andrew Carnegie free enterprise was a necessary system for him to make it into the steel industry and on top of that make an impact on people of wealth to give back to the less fortunate. Andrew Carnegie was an immigrant from Scotland that made his way to the United States like many other immigrants for a better…

Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-born American industrialist who made millions in the steel industry and later in his life became a “major philanthropist” (History.com). Carnegie was one of the leading figures of industry of America during the 1800s turning him from a poor young boy to one of the richest and most powerful tycoon of his time. As he aged, he sold his company to one of his competitors and turned into a millionaire, probably the richest man of his age. Despite of the hardships he had…

bridge, multivariate factors need to be deduced. These include; the location, the material of the steel and the characteristics of the cement mixture. Of the aforementioned factors, location is significant in informing Material Engineers regarding the type of environment in which the structure is built. The environment thus plays a pivotal role and governs the formation of cement and the type of steel utilised. In this scenario, the proximity of the bridge to the river enables us to infer the…

In his book Out of This Furnace Thomas Bell follows the lives of generations of Slovak immigrants as they attempt to make a living in the steel mills. Though Bell’s book is fictional it gives accurate and detailed insight as to what immigrant workers lived through. As Bell follows each immigrants’ story through the years he simultaneously chronicles the many trials and tribulations not only of individual families, but of the nation as a whole. The first character Bell introduces is George…

However, when a fire happened and burned the heat source inside the building, it would continue to consume the structural materials, such as timber, concrete, and steel, depending on what type of the structural system of the building. Wood forms a self-insulating char layer provided protection for the unburned portion. This slow-burning characteristic is a significant advantage for timber to construct a fire-safe…

These days, rollercoasters could be easily seen at the amusement parks; however, roller coasters were not common back in ninetieth century. Also, in order to built a safe rollercoaster, the constructer must have an abundant knowledge in physics. The first rollercoaster in the world was built in Paris, France in 1817. Two of the rollercoasters were built in the same year in France: Les Montagnes Russe à Belleville and Promenades Aeriennes. These rollercoasters were known as the world’s first…

too costly or have insufficient strength; this leaves cast (pig) iron and steel. Making the hammer heads of cast iron is least expensive method because the metal is cheaper and hammer head can readily be cast in sand or reusable permanent molds. Thus, their sale price would be much lower than that of a hammer made of steel forgings. What other factors should be considered in this choice? Would you choose cast iron or steel to make hammer heads? Answer Cast iron Cast iron contains “3% carbon,…

Laws of Motion and conservation of energy before we attempted the drop. We created our apparatus by inserting an egg into two cups connected together. We included steel wool and cotton in the two cup to absorb some of the impact. Secondly, we wrapped the two cups with a thick layer of clay to create a softer impact. Lastly, we applied steel wool two both ends of the cups for added padding. Newton's first law of motion is, “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion…

As we know, most of the part for the car is made by steel which is the roof, frame, tailgate, floor, side panel, and fender. Other than that, Honda also need light metal as a support when producing the car. Moreover, plastic and resin also is needed to made most of the thing for the car which is headlight…

with conventional IF steels at that temperature. This fact is more significant in the case of higher coiling temperature. During the increase of the annealing temperature , the strengthening is more obvious. Annealing at 850 °C with low coiling temperature at 500 °C causes an increase of yield strength up to 600 MPa. Those values along with low elongation would mean the exclusion from deep-drawing steel qualities and, on the contrary, they would be regarded as high strength steel. This assertion…
