  2. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    For many alloys, including carbon steel, the crystal grain size and phase composition, which ultimately determine the material properties, are dependent on the heating rate and cooling rate. Hot working or cold working after the annealing process alters the metal structure, so further heat treatments may be used to achieve the properties required.

  3. Anol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anol

    Anol, also known as p-hydroxypropenylbenzene, [1] is a simple phenol that was derived via demethylation from anethole, an estrogenic constituent of anise and fennel, by Sir Charles Dodds in 1937. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It was reported to possess extremely potent estrogenic activity on par with that of steroidal estrogens like estrone , with a dose of 1 ...

  4. Steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel

    The noun steel originates from the Proto-Germanic adjective *stahlijÄ… or *stakhlijan 'made of steel', which is related to *stahlaz or *stahlijÄ… 'standing firm'. [4] The carbon content of steel is between 0.02% and 2.14% by weight for plain carbon steel (iron-carbon alloys). Too little carbon content leaves (pure) iron quite soft, ductile, and ...

  5. Structural analog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analog

    A structural analog, also known as a chemical analog or simply an analog, is a compound having a structure similar to that of another compound, but differing from it in respect to a certain component.

  6. Biometal (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometal_(biology)

    The body is made up of approximate 1.5% calcium and this abundance is reflected in its lack of redox toxicity and its participation in the structure stability of membranes and other biomolecules. [6] Calcium plays a part in fertilization of an egg, controls several developmental process and may regulate cellular processes like metabolism or ...

  7. Steelmaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmaking

    Steel is made from iron and carbon. Cast iron is a hard, brittle material that is difficult to work, whereas steel is malleable, relatively easily formed and versatile. On its own, iron is not strong, but a low concentration of carbon – less than 1 percent, depending on the kind of steel – gives steel strength and other important properties.

  8. Iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron

    In the modern world, iron alloys, such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron and special steels, are by far the most common industrial metals, due to their mechanical properties and low cost. The iron and steel industry is thus very important economically, and iron is the cheapest metal, with a price of a few dollars per kilogram or pound.

  9. Biological roles of the elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_roles_of_the...

    A large fraction of the chemical elements that occur naturally on the Earth's surface are essential to the structure and metabolism of living things. Four of these elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) are essential to every living thing and collectively make up 99% of the mass of protoplasm. [1]
