submit other answers - - : : polycrystalline diamond and thick-film diamond have been used for mechanical parts such as wire drawing dies and nozzles with a hole diameter of less than mm. polycrystalline diamond slender tubes have also been introduced, and the problem of wear is solved, but the manufacturing...
carbide, which is used for harder materials answer reward question has expired it is actually tungsten carbide, which is used for harder materials. normally a steel ball is used, but the ball has to be harder than the substance being tested. tungsten is hard, tungsten carbide is much harder. submit other...
answer reward question has expired i need latest research papers on hot corrosion and on thermal spray coating submit other answers - - : : if you go to your local college/university libraries, they probably have this article online or the actual magazine. most universities will give a day pass (can't...
answer reward question has expired i thought it was carbon steel but i also herd titanium or tungsten was strongest submit other answers - - : : epleted uranium is most often used for tanks its very dense so is good at stopping kinetic energy penetrators. chobham armor fis used to stop high explosive...
submit other answers - - : : it depends on what your definition of strongest is. metals have differant tensile propertoes, shear strength etc..... the metals generally known for their high strength are titanium, uranium, tungsten but they are usually alloyed. the hardest materials known to man are certain...
submit other answers - - : : graphene or carbyne a sheet of graphene, one molecule thick, would need an elephant balancing on the end of a pencil to puncture the graphene sheet. but, recent developement states that carbyne might be stronger then graphene. it has twice the tensile strength of graphene...
submit other answers - - : : tungsten carbide is pretty much the hardest stuff that's readily available, but you can't have everything. you get generally get out of the : hardest, toughest and corrosion resistant. the hardest metals are generally fairly brittle and still subject to corrosion issues....
piece of coursework we need to draw a diagram of the manufacturing process but i'm not sure which is the most popular process and everywhere i look i get different answers. if anyone could tell me what the best process to make tungsten carbide tool tips is then it would be muchly appreciated. submit other...
submit other answers - - : : it's not. gold itself is alloyed because it is about as soft as lead. gold alloys are still just a little harder than copper, which is softer then iron. the hardest metal alloy known is a mixture of osmium and iridium. it is used on metal surfaces which get a lot of wear...
submit other answers - - : : carbide is harder but more brittle... especially if it is just carbide tipped. carbide is extreamly hard, handles harder metals with higher rpms but can chip if not used correctly (correct load, rpm, diameter step sizes, etc). this is why you can buy carbide tipped cobalt...
