#metal asks

In no specific order:

Ductile iron, because it has so much versatility in mechanical properties and the casting process is so cool (particularly grade 60-40-18 because the properties are so straightforward to achieve)

304 stainless, the workhorse of stainless steels

Bismuth, for the colors and crystals

Chromium, for the colors and for making stainless steel possible

bc i am a silly little guy who likes metal + my silly little f/os...

death metal: who is more intimidating, s/i or f/o?

metalcore: who is the 'um they asked for no pickles...' half of the pairing?

nu metal: does f/o communicate more with words or actions? how about s/i?

doom metal: who gets scared more easily?

classic metal: have f/o and s/i ever attended a concert together? who was it?

power metal: do they get into arguments easily? do they make up easily?

glam metal: does s/i steal clothes from f/o or the other way around?

industrial metal: who stays up late working and who convinces the other to come to bed?

thrash metal: do s/i and f/o dance together? what kind of dancing?

idol metal: what's something s/i does that f/o finds cute or endearing? the other way around?

So, when rolling metal (in those cases steel), as the metal gets rolled thinner and thinner, it gets longer and longer to maintain conservation of mass (the width is largely unaffected bc of reasons).

Since the material gets longer, it has to speed up in order to maintain the same rate of mass flow. In a steel mill, where the rolling is done in multiple stages in series, the exit velocity can be dozens of miles per hour.

If the metal, flying along at 20+mph, gets misaligned or otherwise moves in a direction it shouldn’t, it becomes Serious String.

im beating you up how dare you ask me such a thing/j

Thank you anon!! (I know who you are)

bio says ask about metals so like, idk what's the most "out there" alloy you've seen? once one of my profs mentioned mag-thor (thorium to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium) like it was nothing then immediately moved on

I’m glad I was able to phase-diagram-jumpscare you

For applications of thorium, thoriated tungsten is often used in TIG welding electrodes.

There’s all the weird High-Entropy Alloys (more recently termed Multiple Principle Element Alloys), like CoCrFeNiMn

thank you !!! :] <3

death metal: who is more intimidating, s/i or f/o?

levi -> om!orion for sure hehe

freemind -> i dnt think he's neccessarily intimidating in the normal way but i think more ppl are uneasy around freemind than s/i

bruce -> bale!bruce is more intimidating for that pairing but conversely, battinson seems more intimidating at first glance but it's actually s/i hehe

nines -> scary robot 4 sure..

leon -> most of the time leon is more intimdating, but re2!o is way more intimidating than re2!leon's baby face hehe

thank yew !!! :] am thinking of levi rn .. <3

glam metal: does s/i steal clothes from f/o or the other way around?

i dont think either does it consciously, but i think levi has a sweatshirt that om!orion left in his room when they were gaming and he wears it occasionally. would die if they ever pointed it out tho

thrash metal: do s/i and f/o dance together? what kind of dancing?

YAA i wrote this Q with levi in mind :] i think they learn idol dances for musicians levi likes !!
