  2. Semi-finished casting products - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-finished_casting_products

    A billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section, with an area less than 36 in 2 (230 cm 2). Billets are created directly via continuous casting or extrusion or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot or bloom. [1] [2] [4] Billets are further processed via profile rolling and drawing. Final products include bar stock and wire. [3]

  3. Ingot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingot

    An ingot is a piece of relatively pure material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. [1] In steelmaking, it is the first step among semi-finished casting products. Ingots usually require a second procedure of shaping, such as cold/hot working, cutting, or milling to produce a useful final product.

  4. Cerro Gordo Mines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerro_Gordo_Mines

    Most of the metal ingots produced here were transported to Los Angeles, but transportation difficulties hindered the success of the mines. Mining of silver and lead peaked in the early 1880s, with a second mining boom producing zinc in the 1910s.

  5. CPM S30V steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPM_S30V_steel

    Working chefs and outdoor survivalists laud the improved toughness of S35VN, which greatly reduces the micro-bevel chipping that tends to plague S30V in rough use. In these kinds of applications the advantage of an S35VN blade over S30V is quick honing with a strop or steel stick in lieu of needing to remove metal and reform the edge.

  6. Zamak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak

    Zamak ingot ZAMAK (or Zamac , formerly trademarked as MAZAK [ 1 ] ) is an eclectic family of alloys with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminium , magnesium , and copper . Zamak alloys are part of the zinc aluminium alloy family; they are distinguished from the other ZA alloys because of their constant 4% aluminium composition.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retreat_(survivalism)

    While fallout shelters have been advocated since the 1950s, dedicated self-sufficient survivalist retreats have been advocated only since the mid-1970s. The survival retreat concept has been touted by a number of influential survivalist writers including Ragnar Benson, Robert K. Brown, Barton Biggs, Bruce D. Clayton, Jeff Cooper, Cresson Kearny, James Wesley Rawles, Howard Ruff, Kurt Saxon ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_arc_remelting

    Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications. [1] The VAR process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry, and has made possible tightly controlled materials used in biomedical ...
