    The Maltese inch. Exactly 55⁄64 imperial inches. This unit is not in the 1921 act. The Maltese hand span, equivalent to the foot. Exactly 10 + 5⁄16 imperial inches. This is exactly 82 + 1⁄2 inches, or 6 ft 10 + 1⁄2 in. It corresponds to the fathom, but was used in both land and sea contexts.

  3. Beryllium copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium_copper

    Beryllium copper (C17200 & C17300) is an age-hardening alloy that attains the highest strength of any copper base alloy. It may be age hardened after forming into springs, intricate forms, or complex shapes. It is valued for its elasticity, corrosion resistance, stability, conductivity, and low creep. Tempered beryllium copper is C17200 and ...

    The International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) is a standard established in 1914 by the United States Department of Commerce. [1] It is an empirically derived standard value for the electrical conductivity of commercially available copper. Sometime around 1913 several copper samples from 14 important refiners and wire manufacturers were ...

  5. Rolling (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_(metalworking)

    Rolling (metalworking) In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of ...

    Bar stock, also (colloquially) known as blank, slug or billet, [1] is a common form of raw purified metal, used by industry to manufacture metal parts and products. Bar stock is available in a variety of extrusion shapes and lengths. The most common shapes are round (circular cross-section), rectangular, square and hexagonal.

  9. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.
