The T2SS is 3 grams heavier than the stock T2 but to me it “feels” more, well,densein my hand. It’s hard to describe accurately but to me it re-enforces that feeling of a quality tool. And the balance of the T2SS seems to be just a bit higher on the handle (toward the h...
Copper, like magnesium, is only used for single-level dies but is sturdier and more expensive. Brass is required for multi-level and sculpted die types. It is the hardest metal of the common dies and will last very long, but it is two to three times more expensive than copper. What Ar...
It is present at about 24% of the total elemental mass, which is more than 12 times the mass of all the heavier elements combined. Its abundance is similar to this in both the Sun and in Jupiter, due to the very high nuclear binding energy (per nucleon) of helium-4, with respect ...
Yes, silver is heavier (10.49 g/cc) than brass or nickel-silver (about 8.5 g/cc) but I think it would be tough to tell just from the heft. You could use Archimedes' principle to determine the density :-) Luck & Regards, Ted Mooney, P.E. RET ...
Specifically: That portion of the distillate obtained in the refinement of petroleum which is intermediate between the lighter gasoline and the heavier benzine, and has a specific gravity of about 0.7, -- used as a solvent for varnishes, as a carburetant, illuminant, etc. Naphtha (n.) One ...
Is mercury a heavier element than tin? What is an alkaline earth metal? Copper is an example of what type of metal? What are the rare earth metals on the periodic table? What is between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table?
Requires solid materials (copper, brass, etc) which compromise terminal ballistics Swaging is the opposite of drawing. When you DRAW a bullet or jacket, you push it through an open ring die that reduces the size. When you SWAGE a bullet, you expand it to a slightly larger size in a pres...
In c. 1481–87, Johannes Tinctoris described the “cetula” or cetra as follows: “From thelyralikewise proceeded another instrument, named by the Italians, who devised it, acetula, upon which fourenee(aenee: brass or copper) orcalibee(chalybs: iron or steel) strings, commonly disposed ...
coins, and these magnets would grab the steel pennies and jam the coin slot. Sweaty fingers also caused the coin’s edges to rust, and some people tried to pass off steel pennies as dimes. To avoid this, many coins dated 1944 to 1946 were infused with copper from recycled brass shells....
