When heat is applied to an object, that object usually undergoes a structural change. This also applies to rock. Since Knife River Flint is a fine-grained stone the changes predictably would be minor, compared to a coarse-gained stone that would exhibit greater change when it came to thermal altering. Ahler purposed “that fine-grained cherts respond to heat alteration at lower temperatures than do coarse-grained cherts” (Ahler 1983: 2) which Knife River Flint is a fine-grained chert, so it…

came the use of obsidian, the sharpest material on the planet, it micro bevel width was as small as 2 nanometers, that’s small enough to sever molecules themselves in the skin. And in some countries it is still used as scalpels in hospitals. Later Steel became the main use for spear heads, forging a spear head although was not easy. It would start with some high carbon, low carbon, and pure iron into a crucible, that was capped off with a clay cap, completely sealed from oxygen. Then is put on…

Beryllium General Characteristics According to Hornbostel (1991), Beryllium is a hard, exceptionally, lightweight, gray-white metal, corrosion resistant at ordinary temperatures; chemically it is related to aluminum. Other than titanium, it is the only light metal which has both good strength and a high melting point. Additionally, it is a good electrical conductor, has high modulus of elasticity, exceptionally transmit x-rays and sounds at very high velocities. Moreover, it has the ability to…

• What is means of welding? The welding is the processes which make the permanent bonding between the two or more solid bodies o the metal if the welding is not done properly the welding joint can be brake from the welding place and if the welding is done properly the metal can be brake from the middle or the center of the object • Spot welding http://www.taylorautobody.com/Portals/16/images/Pro%20Spot%202.jpg There is many type of welding processes 1 Gas welding 2 Gas shielded arc welding 3…

Stainless Steel (Car Components): Stainless steel which is also known as inox steel, is a steel alloy which features 10.5% of chromium. Stainless steel does not rust or stain like normal steel would and even though it is called stainless steel, it is not entirely stainless, because in low-oxygen, high salinity environments it is able to be stained. The main difference between stainless steel and general carbon steel is the amount of chromium present. Due to the amount of chromium that stainless…

constituent that is usually fibrous but may have a particulate or other shape (web.mit.edu). They are produced when two or more materials or phases are used together to give a combination of properties that cannot be attained otherwise. For example steel reinforced concrete, plywood and fibre glass. 1.2 What is a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC)? CMCs are a subgroup of composite materials. They consist of ceramic fibres embedded in a ceramic matrix, thus forming a ceramic fibre reinforced ceramic…
