FAQ

I am using mild steel wire (very thin and bendable) for an art project, and would like to know if using a soldering torch is effective enough to get the job done. Or do I have to use a butane torch to heat the metal?BTW, is it better to use soft or hard solder?
Soldering to steel is difficult. An electric iron may be enough depends on power. The steel must be clean. An abrasive like fine steel wool,fine sandpaper or even a rubber pencil eraser will work. Next an acid flux for the solder. Most electronic solder flux is not active enough for steel. Plumbers solder usually is. Plumbers solder is Lead free and has a slightly higher melting temp.
i got a strip of steel from lowes how to sharpen it its not that thick its kinda slim but its heavyish its around 4'2 feet tall i cant get a whetstone or anything elsei have a brick , sand paper , and a hammer and some charcoal i was heating it up and trying to pound a edge into italso how to cut the steel to make a pointy curved tip any help appreciated and please tell me easy methodsplus its not sharp at all

There are several different steel coil leveling methods, including roller leveling, stretcher leveling, and temper leveling.
Steel coils can be processed to achieve different levels of hardness through a variety of methods. One common method is heat treatment, which involves heating the coils to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling them to alter their microstructure and achieve the desired hardness. The process of heat treatment can include quenching, tempering, or annealing, depending on the desired hardness level. Quenching involves cooling the coils rapidly in a liquid medium such as water or oil to achieve a high hardness level. Tempering, on the other hand, involves reheating the coils to a lower temperature and then slowly cooling them to achieve a desired balance of hardness and toughness. Annealing is a process that involves heating the coils to a specific temperature and then slowly cooling them to relieve internal stresses and achieve a softer and more ductile material. Additionally, mechanical processes such as cold rolling or cold working can also be used to increase the hardness of steel coils. These processes involve subjecting the coils to compressive forces, which cause the material to deform and result in an increase in hardness. Overall, the processing of steel coils for different levels of hardness requires careful control of temperature, cooling rate, and mechanical forces to achieve the desired properties for specific applications.
The main raw materials used in making steel coils are iron ore, coal, and limestone.
what is the difference between METAL and STEEL?
Most sheet metal is coated with galvanizing. Not fun to weld on. Most steel for welding use is just carbon steel.
The width range of steel coils can vary depending on the specific requirements and industry standards, but generally, it can range from a few millimeters to several meters.
Steel coils are used in the manufacturing of household appliances as a raw material for forming various components such as panels, frames, and structures. The coils are typically cut, shaped, and welded to create the necessary parts used in appliances like refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines. The durability and strength of steel make it an ideal material for ensuring the longevity and performance of these appliances.
