Bethlehem Steel had many interesting parts throughout its one hundred forty plus years of providing steel for not only Pennsylvania but also the entire country. This company gave a lot of people jobs that provided pretty good pay and great retirement plans. Some of the most interesting structures that still stands today is the blast furnaces, and the guns that were provided for the battle ships during World War I and II. The blast furnaces that are still standing today are no longer in use as they are now surrounded by a casino.…
Parana Pine: For the Parana Pine I obtained the published value from a website since the values on the lab sheet didn’t have a values for Parana Pine. Firstly, I calculated my own Young’s Modulus Value with the result got from the tests using the equation for Young’s Modulus in Bending: E= l³/(4bd^3 ) x ( Δw)/( Δx) From using this equation, I achieved 14.44 E/GPa as a value, the published value, was: 11.37 E/GPa found on ‘The Wood Database’. The difference between my results and the Published values is: 3.07, and it was still within the range of the published value. Regarding the accuracy of the test, since this was my first time conducting this type of test, there may have been some mistakes I made that could have affected the results…
1. What was the Bessemer steel converter? How did this invention shape U.S. history? a. The Bessemer converter was a part of the first process that made mass quantities of steel. This allowed Carnegie to not only make more of his product, but it also allowed him to sell it for less.…
This means that they know every trick and technique to transform a simple fence into an elegant work of iron art. As a complement to their incredible welding and fabrication, they also offer custom faux finishes for any iron project. Due to corrosion, wrought iron must be finished with some type of corrosion-resistant product to preserve it. Each finish provides its own unique look and level of protection. Talk to the experts at Elsmere Ironworks before you choose your finish to consider the benefits of each.…

Four Reasons Aluminum Is One of the Best Choices for Your Metal Needs Aluminum is thought by many to be the best choice for applications involving metal. Most people think of soda cans when they think of aluminum, but there are a great many other applications that make this the preferred choice for design work by engineers. The following are only a few of the most important reasons that aluminum is so popular.…
The brass line brings the sound and the flare to any modern marching band and drum corp. The section, if played correctly can blend perfectly together. Each instrument has its own unique history and has evolved from their ancestors into almost a completely different instrument. From being used for religious purposes to signaling or provoking fear into enemies eyes, the instruments have evolved into the beautiful yet powerful sounding instruments today. Brass instruments have vastly different histories and origins which have evolved to work perfectly together in terms of sound in any band or corp.…
In this experiment, the metals; Zinc, Magnesium and Copper are put into a glass test tube filled with different molars of hydrochloric acid such as 0.5 molar, 1 molar, 2 molars and water. By soaking theses metals in hydrochloric acid and water, will help determine the strongest and most doable metal in states such as acid rain. The corrosion of a metal is a very common problem to many infrastructures and buildings. Corrosion is defined to be the decaying of a metal from environmental surroundings such as sunlight exposure, moisture and oxygen. For metals to rust or also scientifically known as corrosion, the metals need to react with oxygen.…
Assignment 1 – ARCH 3053, Gabe Lever-Brine “How did the development of new technologies and materials affect 19thC modernism?” In the 19th century, architecture arrived at a pivotal junction bringing together revivals from Greek and Gothic styles and modernising them with the latest technologies and materials that were becoming mainstream during that time. That and the careful application of Classical standards following the 18th century Industrial Revolution set the foundations to the iconic era of 19th century Modernism. With materials such as glass and cast iron emerging through the middle years of the century and steel becoming widely produced in the later years paved the way for prominent architects like Joseph Paxton and Gustave Eiffel…
Chemistry Task 2 Portfolio Outline and examine some uses of different metals through history, including contemporary uses, as uncombined metals or as alloys. Metal/Metal Alloy Uses Throughout History Copper - Used to make ornaments and domestic utensils in historical times (not as tools as it is a soft metal) - In modern times used in electrical wiring, pipes and plumbing fittings, jewellery, decoration, - This is due to its malleability, ductility and good electrical conductivity.…
Choosing to build a steel kit home provides you with a wonderful investment. When you build with steel framed systems, you have better energy efficiency, superior strength, a non-combustible material and less maintenance required. That alone makes steel kit homes a preferred method in turning an old shed house into the ideal home. The great thing about doing this is that it does not cost as much as you might believe. For example, in many cases you can get a pre-built shell that costs less than what you could pay for building it yourself.…
This was obvious by two ways. The first being that the original, galvanized piece of sheet metal was shiny before being put in. After being placed in the acid, the metal was much less shiny and weighed less. The acid was eating away at the zinc coating on the surface of the metal causing the solution to bubble vigorously, indicating that a gas (hydrogen) was being released. This was the corrosion taking…
When exposed to water and air, the chemical element aluminum, does not corrode. However, the truth of the matter is that the shell of aluminum responds so promptly with water that its shell should dissolve in the rain. Despite this fact, when aluminum metal is set in an atmosphere, a thin layer, known as aluminum oxide, forms on the metal's surface, making it resistant to rust. At the point when the external layer of aluminum oxide gets hydrated or wet, its molecular structure alters only enough to become chemically inert, which is why it resists…
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.…
(1) Basic Substance. The basic substance used to make both steel and cast iron (gray and malleable) is the metal, iron in the form of pig iron. Pig iron is produced from iron ore, which occurs chiefly in nature as an oxide, the two most important oxides being hematite and magnetite. (2) Iron Ore. Iron ore is reduced to pig iron in a blast furnace, and the impurities are removed in the form of slag (figure 2 on the following page).…
