Tungsten has the highest yield and tensile strength of any pure metal, making it arguably the strongest metal in the world. And yet, it's not the hardest metallic element or even the strongest metal by weight. Speaking of pure metal, determining the strongest metals also calls into question:...
Titanium is an inert metal known for its exceptional physical properties. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring both lightness and durability, such as joint replacements and dental implants. Titanium has a density of 4.5 g/cm³, a melting ...
317 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that possesses excellent corrosion resistance. Of all the 300 series stainless steels, alloy 317 is the most corrosion resistant and has the highest tensile and creep strength properties at elevated temperatures. The high molybdenum content the alloy...
The tough bottoms of his feet Strong Having a high concentration of an essential or active ingredient. A strong cup of coffee; a strong medicine Tough Substantially made or constructed; Sturdy steel shelves Sturdy canvas A tough all-weather fabric Some plastics are as tough as metal Strong (spe...
A device that has a helical function. Screw A simple machine, a helical inclined plane. Screw A (usually) metal fastener consisting of a partially or completely threaded shank, sometimes with a threaded point, and a head used to both hold the top material and to drive the screw either dire...
Steel fixers will very often work with material known as rebar, or reinforcement bars. These thin metal rods can be welded together to make a supporting cage or grid. These bars are very commonly used during concrete construction, since concrete has low tensile strength. The rebar is cast with...
A hard, brittle metal, tungsten is difficult to work. Possessing high thermal and electrical conductivity at high temperatures, tungsten has low vapor pressure. Compared to other metallic materials, tungsten has a high melting point and possesses the highest melting point of all elements on the ...
Consisting mostly of iron with about 0.03 to 1% carbon, it’s a versatile metal with some unique properties. Steel has a high tensile strength and low production cost, making it preferable among manufacturing companies over other metals. But not all steelmakers use the same process to produce...
Mechanically-attached EPDM roofing systems typically use long plastic or metal batten strips to hold the field membrane in place. These battens are placed across the roof, on top of the EPDM membrane, usually at the edges of the individual sheets of EPDM that make up the field membrane. ...
