  2. Striated muscle tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striated_muscle_tissue

    Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres. The presence of sarcomeres manifests as a series of bands visible along the muscle fibers, which is responsible for the striated appearance observed in microscopic images of this tissue.

  3. Pyrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

    In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what is now called pyrite. [12] By Georgius Agricola's time, c. 1550, the term had become a generic term for all of the sulfide minerals.

  4. Unified numbering system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_numbering_system

    The Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys (UNS) is an alloy designation system widely accepted in North America.Each UNS number relates to a specific metal or alloy and defines its specific chemical composition, or in some cases a specific mechanical or physical property.

  5. Steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_grades

    In addition to the descriptive steel grade naming system indicated above, within EN 10027-2 is defined a system for creating unique steel grade numbers. While less descriptive and intuitive than the grand names they are easier to tabulate and use in data processing applications.

  6. List of blade materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_blade_materials

    Stainless steel is a popular class of material for knife blades because it resists corrosion and is easy to maintain. However, it is not impervious to corrosion or rust. For a steel to be considered stainless it must have a Chromium content of at least 10.5%. [24] 154CM / ATS-34 steels. These two steels are practically identical in composition ...

  7. SAE steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_steel_grades

    The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels. These efforts were similar ...

  8. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    The tissue of a skeletal muscle is striated – having a striped appearance due to the arrangement of the sarcomeres. A skeletal muscle contains multiple fascicles – bundles of muscle fibers. Each individual fiber and each muscle is surrounded by a type of connective tissue layer of fascia .

  9. Stress–strain curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–strain_curve

    In this region, the stress mainly increases as the material elongates, except that for some materials such as steel, there is a nearly flat region at the beginning. The stress of the flat region is defined as the lower yield point (LYP) and results from the formation and propagation of Lüders bands. Explicitly, heterogeneous plastic ...
