  2. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    This method was adopted by larger firearm companies for large scale, more economical bluing. It does provide good rust resistance, which is improved with oil. "Rust bluing" and "fume bluing" provide the best rust and corrosion resistance as the process continually converts any metal that is capable of rusting into magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Treating ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlegun_scaler

    A needlegun scaler, needle scaler, or needle-gun is a tool used to remove rust, mill scale, and old paint from metal surfaces. [2] The tool is used in metalwork applications as diverse as home repair, automotive repair, and shipboard preservation. [3] [4] [5]

    Then green sand castings are used to make a metal lathe. The lathe is the first machine built since it can be used to help build itself. The lathe and foundry are then used to make more complicated machine tools. The books in the series are, in the suggested sequence of construction: The Charcoal Foundry; The Metal Lathe; The Metal Shaper

  5. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

    Structural rust (affecting structural components which must withstand considerable forces) should be cut back to sound metal and new metal welded in, or the affected part should be completely replaced. Wax may not penetrate spot-welded seams or thick rust effectively. A thinner (less viscous) mineral-oil-based anti-rust product followed by anti ...

  6. Door breaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_breaching

    Utilizing a breaching tool is unnecessary if the door is unlocked and easy to open. [5] [3] [6] [1] If the door is locked, breachers can attempt to force inward-opening doors with a strong kick. The breacher will aim to hit the door near the locking mechanism, but not kick the doorknob itself as one can easily twist an ankle doing so. [7]

    where k is a constant, W is the weight loss of the metal in time t, A is the surface area of the metal exposed, and ρ is the density of the metal (in g/cm 3). Other common expressions for the corrosion rate is penetration depth and change of mechanical properties.

  8. Machine shop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_shop

    Modern machine shop workstation, 2009. A machine shop or engineering workshop is a room, building, or company where machining, a form of subtractive manufacturing, is done. In a machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually of metal or plastic (but sometimes of other materials such as glass or wood).

  9. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is a commonly used metaphor for slow decay due to neglect, since it gradually converts robust iron and steel metal into a soft crumbling powder. A wide section of the industrialized American Midwest and American Northeast , once dominated by steel foundries , the automotive industry , and other manufacturers, has experienced harsh economic ...
