shear steel

The lock fell, still secure, to the ground, wearing a little necklace of sheared steel.

It was like trying to shear steel cable.

Dye guillotines incorporate a swing beam mechanism for shearing steel plate.

The quality of the steel could be improved by faggoting, producing the so-called shear steel.

The bars were then shortened, bound, heated and hammered, pressed or rolled to become shear steel.

Shear steel was of non uniform quality and a better process was needed for producing watch springs, a popular luxury item in the 18th century.

The smells of baked stone and sheared steel and musty parchment acquired a transcendent edge of clarity.

Blister steel that has been faggoted was known as shear steel; if faggoted twice, as double shear steel.

See: Cementation process The blister steel could be heated and hammered with wrought iron to make shear steel, which was used for cutting edges like scissors, knives and axes.

When he is plucking low notes, his fingers sound strong enough to shear steel; when he is soloing, he executes each note with an intensity of focus that can be almost frightening.

This caused diffusion of carbon into the iron, producing bars of blister steel which, after cooling down the furnace, could be withdrawn and either forged into shear steel or melted into crucible steel.

Then flailing coil met shearing steel, fierce-driven parrot beaks clanged against space-tempered armor, bulbous heads pulped under hard-swung axes, but not for the fractional second necessary for inertialess flight could the two win clear.

In addition, the availability of new technology and equipment for crushing concrete and shearing steel, for example, has greatly improved methodology and productivity for the demolition/dismantling of large massive structures as is evidenced by the Argentia Project.
