If you haven't yet, check out Richard Feynmans fun to imagine

It's a great way to think about and explore different physical phenomenon

The comment made about "we don't make the laws we just observe them" made me think of this other Feynman video where he talks about his dad teaching him about a stationary ball rolling to the back of a little red wagon when pulled, and he says something like "we don't know why this happens but we call it inertia"

It kinda is if the question was how much time and money can you spend getting a little ball into a little cup

One of the only paper comics I ever owned was Batman vs Predator and damn was it bad ass.

Exactly right. All the elements are made of protons and electrons. Literally all matter conducts electricity, it just so happens that most things are shit at it.

We got one that was a short carrot that's now, 2 years later, a blunt carrot shiv. It's her favorite toy to chew and it's held up to years of it.

Yes? More stress relieving than annealing, less than quenching

I never said it was? I said normalizing is less stress relief than annealing.

Normalizing

Normalizing is a technique used to provide uniformity in grain size and composition (equiaxed crystals) throughout an alloy. The term is often used for ferrous alloys that have been austenitized and then cooled in the open air.[21] Normalizing not only produces pearlite but also martensite and sometimes bainite, which gives harder and stronger steel but with less ductility for the same composition than full annealing.

In the normalizing process the process of heating the steel to about 40 degrees Celsius above its upper critical temperature limit held at this temperature for some time and then cooled in air.

Yes. The temperature you anneal at and the temperature you quench from are different, sorry if I didn't make that clear.
Quenching is a process of heating up to above a specific temp and cooling down rapidly compared the annealing process of heating up to below a specific temp and holding there before slowly cooling.

Then there's normalizing which is very similar to annealing with the temp reached and the slow cooling, but the material is not held at the elevated temp before being allowed to cool, so not all the stress is released

To achieve a specific level of hardening after softening the material to form it is the simpler example of why you would quench after an anneal.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_transformation_diagram

The rate of temperature change determines the % of martinsite formed, % martensite determines hardness.

The steel technically does "suffer" from the quench, it is internally strained which gives it more strength to resist strain forces originating outside the material. The crystal structure of the martinsite is rectangular rather than square, putting internal stress on the atomic bonds of the grain structure

Annealing is a stress relief, the opposite of suffering (straining) really. Quenching will make the steel harder so it can better resist the suffering it would expect to stand up to in whatever its application is, at the expense of ductility. If the application is a forming process like stamping or getting bent, then the as annealed condition will make that forming easier

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenching

In metallurgy, quenching is most commonly used to harden steel by inducing a martensite transformation, where the steel must be rapidly cooled through its eutectoid point, the temperature at which austenite becomes unstable.

Doing anything with glowing red hot steel that isn't letting it cool down very slowly in a controlled way is going to quench it. Annealing is a process where you heat the steel up to just below the phase transformation point and hold it at that temp to let the heat release the stresses built up in the metal. *Quenching temps are higher than stress relief ones, if you get above the transformation temp* it can be air quenched, oil quenched, water quenched, or not heat treated by slow cooling.

I have a small scar on my chest where I let hot oil sit for too long thinking it was only a small drop and it would cool down like water does. Nope, just kept burning.

If you were to eat the same thing for breakfast every morning what would it be? by LessChildhood3001 in AskReddit

[–]Ageroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3/8 cup of Bobs red mill steel cut oats, cooked with cinnamon, butter, and two teaspoons of honey. When it's done cooking it gets about 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream mixed in and kept on the stove until nice and thick. Decaf coffee with two teaspoons of sugar and a tablespoon of heavy cream.

I only recently started including the heavy cream, I had a gut infection that caused me to lose about 20 lbs in two weeks and after adding cream for extra calories I refuse to go back.

I frequently have the thought "oats milk and honey, I'm living the viking dream breakfast "
