Best shooting, Springfield 1911 RO in 9mm (Point Blank in Carmel had one to rent a while back); but I think Colt Commader (now back in production) because all 1911's should be Colt's.
I have shot both Colt Combat Commander (steel, not currently in production) & Colt Commander (alloy) in 9mm and...
No, there will be many November elections before he is 18. This is not his first Questionnaire, the previous was returned with his age (then nothing for a few years).
Rewind
Re-visiting an old thread with a new spin:
My less than 18 year child (minor) received the "Juror Qualification Questionnaire" recently (from a previously mentioned IN county).
Obviously he is not old enough to vote and he is not old enough to have a driver's license (these were not...
No doubt it provides elemental analysis (qualitative), I just doubt it is quantitative (semi-quantitative at best). Do you know which crystals your device contains, that will determine which elements you can identity and how accurate. Even $1,000,000 XRFs work best when you evaluate elements...
The End
Can you reply to your own quote?
A few days ago, I decided to reply short and sweet (but somehow I just could not leave it at that see proceeding replys).
I prefer Alchemist to metallurgist or materials scientist and I draw the line at metallographs (that would be too much like...
OK, if you made it this far I hope you are not mad - I am just making a point that the metallurgical aspects of coatings, processes, etc. may not be very exciting and it is likely more fun to discuss guns, ammo and even knives (now this is where metallurgy is important). Only one more reply to...
I concur; with materials it is the processing (e.g. time at temperature, etc.) which determines the phases and morphology which determines the properties (fit for use). For a complex material, the elemental analysis does not predict much by itself, especially when discussing coatings (bond...
OK guys, portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometers work on identifying/verifing an alloy based on the devices internal library (more a yes or no for known alloys, not so good for determining an accurate analysis for each element). A $500,000 standup XRF is good for this, but you need...
See prior post with regards to Stellite compositions (CoCrWMnSiC) vs NiB. Ni is relatively soft and by itself not that low of friction (it galls and can generate metal transfer in metal/metal contact. The materials are very different, but you might find each used to enhance wear resistance.
Stellite developed by Indiana's Elwood Haynes in Kokomo; originally to improve the oxidation/corrosion resistance of spark plug tips. This invention was close in timing with stainless steel (the Elwood Haynes Museum in Kokomo has a set of cutlery, prior to stainless, he made for his wife and...
