Thin steel

For commodities that soHdify at temperatures commonly encountered during shipping, tank cars are equipped with internal or external heating coils. In some cases, cars are insulated with both sides of the insulation protected by thin steel shells. Approximately 15% of the tank cars in the United States are constmcted for the transportation of pressuri2ed commodities, such as anhydrous ammonia and propane.

Tinplate is thin steel sheet with a minute coating of tin applied. This is used for producing food and drinks cans, where rust must be prevented at all costs. 

An application of the smoke generation principle described above is the smoke wire." This simulates a line source and makes it possible to efteccively study the airflow patterns in a layer, which is often desirable. A thin steel wire is... 

Cone-bottom vertical vessels are sometimes used where solids are anticipated to be a problem. Most cones have either a 90 apex (a = 45 ) or a 60 apex ia = 30 ). These are referred to respectively as a 45 or 60 cone because of the angle each makes with the horizontal. Equation 12-4 is for the thickness of a conical head that contains pressure. Some operators use internal cones within vertical vessels with standard ellipsoidal heads as shown in Figure 12-2. The ellipsoidal heads contain the pressure, and thus the internal cone can be made of very thin steel. 

Coil coating Coil coating is the technique of depositing a film of liquid on to a continuously moving thin steel or aluminium sheet. The sheet is uncoiled from a roll at the start of the process and recoiled at the end. The coils are then cut to length and formed into the required shape. 

Issues related to HE of steel liner may still exist however, due to the thin steel liner carrying lower stresses, potential for hydrogen cracking could be reduced. 

One of the most important uses of tin is in the coating of thin steel sheets to make tin plate, which in turn is used to make what is known as the tin can. The tin coating is thin, inexpensive to apply, and resistant to most foods for extended periods of time. Other inert coatings are sometimes used on the inside of the can to further protect the foods for longer periods of time. 

The metal has very little commercial use. In elemental form it is a laser source, a portable x-ray source, and as a dopant in garnets. When added to stainless steel, it improves grain refinement, strength, and other properties. Some other applications, particularly in oxides mixed with other rare earths, are as carbon rods for industrial hghting, in titanate insulated capacitors, and as additives to glass. The radioactive isotope ytterbium-169 is used in portable devices to examine defects in thin steel and aluminum. The metal and its compounds are used in fundamental research. 

Canister. This projectile is intended for anti-personnel use at close range. The projectile consists of a heavy steel base with integral rotating, band, and a thin steel body loaded with a payload... 

The fuze (See Fig 1-84), consists of a diecast body (C) with a neck which houses the primer (A). A cavity in the middle of the fuze body, extending across the perpendicular to the fuze axis, holds a rotor (E) and a lock assembly (G). A body pin (F) serves to hold the lock cup and lock spring. The entire forward part of the fuze body and its mechanism is covered by a thin steel ogive (B). When sufficient rota-... 

In order to prevent any hot gas from contacting the explosive charge (in the event that any porosity exists in the shell base) a thin steel disc is welded or brazed to the shell base ( base cover ). The shell is filled with high explosive (TNT, Amatol, Pentolite etc), leaving a cylindrical cavity at the upper part for a booster charge. The neck of the shell is threaded inside...

Type 97 50-kg and Type 100-kg Incendiary Bombs consisted of thin-steel body filled with 400-450 rubber bags impregnated with soln of phosphorus in CS2. The HE chge in the nose and central burster tube was PA(pp 18-20) ... 

The donor selected for this study consisted of detonating cord, ferrule booster. The acceptor expl was confined in either a thin steel cup or a heavy-walled brass bushing. 

The instrument consists of a steel sphere (2.063 cm. in diameter) attached by a length of thin steel wire to a load cell. The slurry sample rests on a horizontal cross arm which can be raised or lowered at controlled speeds. The load cell and cross arm which are part of an Instron Model TT-C testing instrument may be used. The sphere is placed in the lower third of the slurry sample, and the cross arm is lowered at a constant speed (8.5 X 10"4 cm./sec.). The resulting force on the load... 

Dimethyl tellurium di-iodide and trimethyl tellurium iodide combine in the presence of hydriodic acid containing iodine to form a complex, probably (CH3) 3TeI. (CH3) 2TeI2. (CH3) 2TeI4. This forms thin steel-blue needles which melt to a purple liquid near 80° C. and evolve iodine when warmed with water. 

For applications such as cladding fire-rated bulkheads and doors in ships and other vessels decor papers have been bonded directly to thin steel sheet. However, for these purposes steel coated with PVC and thin continuous laminate bonded to steel now are used more commonly.

A step forward in magnetic recording was to replace the wire with a thin steel ribbon. A further advance was the development of paper tape with a layer of iron oxide adhering to one side, which was introduced in Germany in 1930. A few years later, plastic tape replaced the paper.
