The history of making steel
Iron was in limited use long before it became possible to smelt it. The first signs of iron use come from Ancient Egypt and Sumer, where around 4000 BC small items, such as the tips of spears and ornaments, were being fashioned from iron recovered from meteorites About 6% of meteorites are composed of an iron-nickel alloy, and iron recovered from meteorite falls allowed ancient peoples to manufacture small numbers of iron artifacts. Meteoric iron was also fashioned into tools in precontact North America. Beginning around the year 1000, the Thule people of Greenland began making harpoons and other edged tools from pieces of the Cape York meteorite. These artifacts were also used as trade goods with...
How is steel made today
In the early 17th century, ironworkers in western Europe had found a means (called cementation) to carburize wrought iron. Wrought iron bars and charcoal were packed into stone boxes, then held at a red heat for up to a week. During this time, carbon diffused into the iron, producing a product called cement steel or blister steel (see cementation process). One of the earliest places where this was used in England was at Coalbrookdale, where Sir Basil Brooke had two cementation furnaces (recently excavated). For a time in the 1610s, he owned a patent on the process, but had to surrender this in 1619. He probably used Forest of Dean iron as his raw material. Soon after that it was found that the best...
How To Clean Windows And Not Leave Streaks
When cleaning windows it's not always what you see is what you get! Some window cleaning chemicals won't leave streaks right away but after a good drying period a dull film will start to appear. This usually occurs if the window cleaning solution has added chemicals that won't evaporate and are left as a residue on the glass. When purchasing a good window cleaning chemical or solution it is usually best to purchase products that are ammonia based. Ammonia based products will evaporate quickly and not leave any residue. Concentrated glass cleaners are great for use in climates where the temperature changes, especially if you are using them outdoors. A concentrated glass cleaner can be diluted...

The North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented on January 1, 1994. An extension of the previous Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement of 1989, NAFTA is the second largest free trade area in the world.

While NAFTA has created greater trade in North America, there still are concerns on how well the trade agreement is accomplishing its goal of deregulation. These concerns gained some validity with the recent issuance of tariffs in the steel tubing market in Mexico.After a careful investigation, Mexico's Economy of Ministry came to the conclusion that the United States was...

How Stainless Steel Was Invented
Stainless Steel is more than just steel that doesn't stain! It is an umbrella term that covers various types of steel that are resistant to corrosion. There are at least two claims to the title of inventor, one from the UK and one from Sweden. The most likely inventor is Harry Brearley, the son of a steel melter. Harry, who was born in Sheffield in 1871, studied the properties of steel and the effects that various production processes had on it.In 1908, two large steel firms set up a research company called Brown Firth Laboratories and asked Harry to head it up. It's job would be to improve production processes. One of the problems he was asked to solve was the erosion of rifle barrels through the...
Separation of Nanotube Sheets with Frequency Induction
Carbon nanotubes behave very uniquely when they have water molecules inside them and this fact can help us in manufacturing with carbon nanotubes. You see carbon nano tubes are very thin and thus to adequately use them for many different applications we will need to have multiple plies in a composite format. But when working with them we will need to be very careful how we lay them upon one another as they are 250 times stronger and than steel. Think of a hardness of a diamond. So you cannot readily cut them.Due to the fact that carbon nanotubes are very good conductors of electricity, we can send a current thru them and super excite the water molecules inside to separate the thin carbon nano tube...
