Steels and their properties II
Read more →: Steels and their properties IIStructural steels. Materials such as steel are things we encounter primarily in practice, as users, so it is worth discussing some of their properties on the basis of their fields of application. Non-alloy structural steels are usually supplied in the hot-rolled or forged condition.

Drills from the 21st century
Read more →: Drills from the 21st centuryAt the beginning of the 20th century the drill was used primarily for woodworking. These tools were made of iron and were driven by hand. Their construction was very simple: a drill bit ending in a loop or a wooden handle. With these tools the work must have been a real struggle.

For cutting stainless materials, use only a stainless cutting disc!
Read more →: For cutting stainless materials, use only a stainless cutting disc!What happens while you are cutting? The angle grinder spins the cutting disc at a high speed of 6,600 or 11,000 rpm. When the fast-spinning tool meets the workpiece, the friction that arises causes both the workpiece and the tool to start wearing.
