Iron Melts Network Helped Grow Earth’s Core, Study Suggest. Meaning that pockets of molten iron trapped in the mantel layer could tunnel through the surrounding rock to create channels and capillaries. This network of tunnels funnel molten iron towards the planets center to join the spherical metallic heart that was slowly amassing. Wendy Mao and her team placed a minute amount of iron and silicate rock into a metal chamber that they inserted between the tips of two small diamonds. Squeezing them together

1 Arc welding - an overview 1.I History of welding Methods for joining metals have been known for thousands of years, but for most of this period the only form of welding was forge welding by a blacksmith. A number of totally new welding principles emerged at the end of 19th century; sufficient electrical current could then be generated for resistance welding and arc welding. Arc welding was initially carried out using carbon electrodes, developed by Bemados, and was shortly followed by the use

corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, low density, high heat resistance, high fatigue resistance, high crack resistance and biocompatibility; it is widely used in various industries (Moiseyev, 2006). Titanium is often combined with other metals such as aluminum, vanadium, copper, iron, manganese and molybdenum to create alloys of improved grain size and hardness (Clifford, 1968). Titanium mill products: titanium foil, sheet, wire, and rod are useful in the aerospace, marine, military and

entrapment of small air bubbles (the main being Hydrogen gas). Scientists and the expermentalists have been looking for the best of the methods for removing these defects, but still facing difficulties. Introduction Aluminium alloys are light metals with low weight and excellent corossion resistance properties and therby are extensively used in aerospace and automotive industries. Most Aluminium alloys are produced using die casting methods, but certain defects are also present which reduce mechanical

weld * Fusion Welding Principles: * Base metal is melted * Filler metal may be added * Heat is supplied * Weld Metal Protection * During fusion welding, the molten metal in the weld ‘puddle’ is suceptable to oxidation * Weld Fluxes * SiO2, TiO2, FeO, MgO, Al2O3 * Produces a gaseous shield to prevent contamination * Act as scavengers to reduce oxides * Add alloying elements to weld * Inert Gases * Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, CO2 * Form a protective

repeats. Injection moulding is capable to repeatedly form identical discrete parts at a shorter turnaround time as compare to machining. Injection moulding not necessarily rely on one material, there’s variety of materials for example polymer and metals that can be used to produce parts. In this paper, the scope focuses plastic injection moulding by using polymer. Polymer [2] is adapted from Greek as ‘many part’, which describes molecule composed of many identical parts that synthesized together

labelled diagram showing the bonding that occurs within a piece of potassium. Potassium is a metal that has one electron in its outer shell. It is a metal therefore contains delocalised electrons. 4a. 4b. 4c. 4d. 5a. Electricians’ screwdrivers have plastic handles but the shaft of the screwdriver is metal.( Still need to find diagrams) `Electrician screwdriver shafts are made of metal as metal s are very strong and usually do not get damaged easily. This ensures that the screwdrivers are

Methods for joining metals have been known for thousands of years, but for most of this period the only form of welding was forge welding by a blacksmith. A number of totally new welding principles emerged at the end of the 19th century. It became possible to combine and store safely gases such as oxygen and acetylene to produce a flame with enough heat. At the same time sufficient electrical current could then be generated for resistance welding and arc welding. The intensity of the heat source

familiar emotion that had a visible shape, volume and texture. With large statues, an armature normally made of iron rods is used to help stabilize this core. The clay core is then coated with wax, and vents are added to facilitate the flow of molten metal and allow gases to escape, which ensures a uniform casting. In [fig 1] the statueI receive a direct emotional and aesthetic message. This message brings me inside their creation where I recognize my own emotions, quests and longings.The model
