The Mint states that multi-ply plated steel technology, already used in Canada's smaller coinage, produces an electromagnetic signature that is harder to counterfeit than that for regular alloy coins ; also, using steel provides cost savings and avoids fluctuations in price or supply of nickel.

The manufacturer will then transform the steel into a machine, selling the machine for a higher price to a wholesale distributor.

The manufacturer will collect the VAT on the higher price, but will remit to the government only the excess related to the " value added " ( the price over the cost of the sheet steel ).

The older, traditional industries of Wallonia, particularly steel industry, began to lose their competitive edge during this period, but the general growth of world prosperity masked this deterioration until the 1973 and 1979 oil price shocks and resultant shifts in international demand sent the economy into a period of prolonged recession.

The Belgian Government reacted with poor macroeconomic policies to the 1973 and 1979 oil price hikes by hiring the redundant work force into the public sector and subsidizing industries like coal, steel, textiles, glass, and shipbuilding, which had lost their international competitive edge.

For example, when a firm is producing steel, it absorbs labor, capital and other inputs, it must pay for these in the appropriate markets, and these costs will be reflected in the market price for steel.

Hence, the market price for steel will fail to incorporate the full opportunity cost to society of producing.

This fetched a high price and made Salisbury iron the celebrated choice of Connecticut's early nineteenth century arms industry as well as the preeminent source of cast iron railroad car wheels until they were superseded by steel wheels.

Historically, copper was often used for fireboxes ( particularly for steam locomotives ), because of its better formability and higher thermal conductivity ; however, in more recent times, the high price of copper often makes this an uneconomic choice and cheaper substitutes ( such as steel ) are used instead.

About a dozen 1. 2 meter-long aluminum arrows, with 30 centimeter steel cones and three upper stabilizer wings embossed with swastikas, were air dropped onto the ice at turning points of the flight polygons ( these arrows had been tested on the Pasterze glacier in Austria before the expedition ).

A bomb from an aeroplane has just burst by the house, a man wounded and a horse killed, and as I stood at the door to give an order, one of these steel arrows dropped at my feet.

The haematite traffic dropped as steelworks moved to the area, but profits remained high ( and dividends averaged over 10 %) until the mid-1880s when processes were developed which allowed high-quality steel to be made from other iron ores ( and in more convenient locations ).

The rope and drop method invented in Zigong, China used a steel rod or piston raised and dropped vertically via a rope.

* Tanker boots are normally equipped with steel toe guards, steel or plastic shank / heel guards, and in at least modern variants, steel or other protective metal inserts in portions of the sole as well, as befit a boot intended for an operating environment filled with metal hazards that can be accidentally kicked / dropped / stepped upon / et cetera ( as opposed to the traditional combat boot designed for a sandy or muddy battlefield environment ).

Further investigation revealed that the fixture's mounting apparatus had failed, due to galvanic corrosion of incompatible metals, caused by having aluminum in direct contact with stainless steel, in the presence of salt water.

This statement was likely picked up by the author of the Estoire Merlin, or Vulgate Merlin, where the author ( who was fond of fanciful folk etymologies ) asserts that Escalibor " is a Hebrew name which means in French ' cuts iron, steel, and wood '" (" c ' est non Ebrieu qui dist en franchois trenche fer & achier et fust "; note that the word for " steel " here, achier, also means " blade " or " sword " and comes from medieval Latin aciarium, a derivative of acies " sharp ", so there is no direct connection with Latin chalybs in this etymology ).

Bessemer also obtained a patent in 1857 for the casting of metal between contrarotating rollers-a forerunner of today's continuous casting processes and remarkably, Bessemer's original idea has been implemented in the direct continuous casting of steel strip.

The brush, typically a stainless steel body wrapped with a cloth material that both holds the plating solution and prevents direct contact with the item being plated, is connected to the positive side of a low voltage direct-current power source, and the item to be plated connected to the negative.

If a material with high strength in tension, such as steel, is placed in concrete, then the composite material, reinforced concrete, resists not only compression but also bending and other direct tensile actions.

For this to work there must be an electron pathway between the anode and the metal to be protected ( e. g., a wire or direct contact ) and an ion pathway between both the oxidizing agent ( e. g., water or moist soil ) and the anode, and the oxidizing agent and the metal to be protected, thus forming a closed circuit ; therefore simply bolting a piece of active metal such as zinc to a less active metal, such as mild steel, in air ( a poor conductor and therefore no closed circuit ) will not furnish any protection.

The basic structure included a robust passenger cage, front and rear deformation zones, reinforced door posts and pillars, as well as the " Pendulum B-Pillar ", which combined high-strength low-alloy steel at chest and head height with tailored blank steel at the floorpan, designed to direct the crash forces down toward the floor.
