High tensile steel may have ten times the tensile strength of wood, and more than twice that of mild steel, but it would be a mistake to overestimate the importance of this single quantity, as Fuller seems to do

Steel is produced to meet many desired qualities. Tensile strength is one of them. Tensile strength is "The ability to resist being pulled apart". Measured in PSI - Pounds per square inch. Mild steels fall into the 50,000 - 60,000 lb. range, medium steels fall into the 70,000 - 80,000 lb. range, high tensile steels from 90,000 on up. Most steel electrodes are designated for their tensile strength. For example 6011 = 60,000 lbs. tensile strength. 7018 = 70,000 --- 8018 = 80,000 etc. etc.

It depends on the steel type and treatment. It can be as low as 54,000 psi for mild steel and as high as 225,000 psi for cold worked stainless steel

What are the disadvantages of having iron armor?

The hardness and tensile strength provided by iron armor in comparison to its weight. The same hardness and/or tensile strenght can be matched or beaten by lighter alloys.


Would a steel or iron chain be tougher to break?

Steel, which has a higher tensile strenght than pure iron, would be toughest to break. Steel is an iron alloy.

Yes indeed it is hard its hard but not not really really hard.


How do use braze cast iron?

yes it can although it is not reccomended, if this is your only option preheat the cast iron to almost cherry red and weld with a low hydrogen rod such as 7018


Why plastics are not used for building bridges?

I will try to answer it as far as my knowledge in structural engineer goes: There are to main types of forces (besides winds, laterals, etc) that actuate in a bridge: tensile strenght and yield strenght. The first has to do with how much weight can a material handle by "squeezing" it, before it breaks. The second has to do with how much you can stretch a material before it deforms, and go back to its original shape. Basically how elastic a material is. Steel is extremely elastic and also can offer a high tensile strenght. Concrete offers tensile strenght but is not too elastic (unless it has rebaring inside). That's why most bridges are made of steel. A plastic material (oppose to elastic) would deform and won't go back to it's original shape. Hope it helps.

Why was the use of iron important?

because of its density,good conductivity,great tensile strength


Why does iron have a melting point?

Iron atoms are quite dense and heavy. Their atomic cohesion also accounts for the tensile strength and high melting point.


Which is weaker shear strength or tensile strength or compressive strength?

That all depends on the material For most all metals, tensile strength is stronger by about factor of 1.7 For most metals tensile strength is equal to compression strength For concrete, both comppression strength and shear strength are higher than tensile strength For many composites, tensile strenght is higherthan compression strength
