thegoodjoehunt: Super John Guidetti who scored 20 goals in 23 games for Feyenoord might be leaving Man City to join up with Ronald Koeman (Current Southampton Coach) who was Guidetti's Coach at Feyenoord.

If Guidetti goes, Iheanacho will be just behind Jovetic for a place in Man City squad.

Daninya1: Nigeria and Lazio DFM,Ogenyi Onazi who is recruperating in Abuja told a sport reporter with Brila FM,Abuja that he will be back to training in 2wks time... It can be recalled that Onazi was badly tackled by France's Matuidi on his ankle,which led to a torn ligament and excruciating pain in the 2nd round game in Brasilia which led to Nigeria loosing the game by a brace... He has also sent A BIG THANK YOU message to his teeming fans all over the globe.... Hopefully,we will see him marshall the midfield in September as the AFCON qualifiers begin... We all wish him a zillion speedy recovery... .....Source-Brila F.M Abuja.....

Vstuffs: I pity you,at this time you do not know what you will want to become in life.
Wait,do you just want to study this courses because of the money involved,then you are doom,because that is where your problem will start(sorry for the harsh words).
Do you think if I have a big company,I will employ you HELL NO.why?because you study to make money,and not for your passion.
Follow excellence and success will chase you pants down
*i recommend you watch this movie for engineering students(it will help you)*

lolade123: This a great list, quite inspiring. Watch out for Genesys Engineering Cooperation in the nearest future.
If you believe, u can achieve.

Rexphobia: how do i know?


Steel -- this material basically IS iron, but with some other stuff mixed in to make it stronger, more rust-resistant, etc.



IRON is the basic element of steel. Many kinds of steel exist and the names may change as the molecular composition is altered. Adding chromium to iron will yield stainless steel. The study of these metallic compounds is called Metalurgy.

Depends on your measure of strength (tensile, compressive etc) and the types of iron or steel you are comparing, but generally steel is stronger.
Did you mean pig iron, wrought iron or cast iron, did you mean mild steel, tool steel, Jethete or bearing steel

The only really difference between the two is that steel has a controlled quantity of carbon (and other alloying elements) in it, so that its properties are predictable.




In very general terms, steel is "stronger" than Iron.

"Strength" has several meanings when considering metals. For example, there is the amount of force needed to bend a metal sample of a particular thickness. Another measure of strength involves the amount of force needed to pull a metal sample apart.

Iron is mostly composed of an element by the same name. An element is a substance whose atoms are all identical. "Pig iron" and "wrought iron" are two kinds of iron alloys which are mostly pure iron. They are relatively soft and easy to bend, hence pig iron is "wrought" and used architecturally. The best example is in New Orleans whose ornate balconies have wrought iron railings. The disadvantage of wrought iron is that it rusts very easily and has to be coated with paint or galvanized with a Zinc coating.

Steel is an Iron alloy low in carbon and with other metals added like Nickel, Chromium, vanadium and even Phosphorus. All these extra elements give the steel particular characteristics suited to its intended use. "Stainless" steel has Chromium added which inhibits rust. Nickel can make steel more ductile and able to be rolled and pressed.

However, there is a trade off between strength and ductility. As the hardness of steel increases, so does its brittleness. European sword makers learned this by trial and error. The hardest steel had an extremely sharp edge but was likely to shatter if it hit a hard object such as rock. Meanwhile the Japaneese learned how to make swords using two types of steel. The core was soft, high carbon steel. The forger then wrapped the steel ingot with a shell of hard, low carbon steel. This went on to the sword-smith, who then slowly fashioned a steel blade, and finally to the polisher who honed the blade to be razor sharp. These were the swords of the Samarui and could cut very efficiently because of their sharp blades, but resist shattering because the core was soft enough to absorb impacts without shattering.
