However I'd say that, since nickel replaces carbon as the alloying element with the biggest effect on material properties, it's probably more proper to call it iron-nickel alloy or taenite or kamacite or what-not. Oh, and anything greater than 2% carbon is iron, as in cast iron or grey iron or something like that based on the form the carbon takes. Drop in a quarter and listen to the nerdy one ramble. :) Cheers, MDF > <html><div style='background-color:'><P>iron and carbon indeed DOES make > steel- does that classify canyon diablos as > "steel"?!<BR><BR></P><BR><BR><BR> > <DIV>always cc a back-up to: <A > href="mailto:skyrox_at_crapmail.com">skyrox@crapmail.com</A> as hotmail does > not work sometimes</DIV>>From: CMcdon0923_at_aol.com >To: > meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com >Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] > Montrose, CO ?meteor >Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 16:27:53 -0400 > > ><< while the more rare ones are comprised of solid steel. > >> > > >Hmmmmm.....What's the classification for a "steel" > meteorite. > >Hopefully this was poetic license by the author, and > not a quote from either of our list members. > > > > >______________________________________________ >Meteorite-list > mailing list >Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com > >http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list </div><br > clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2734??PS=47575">FREE > pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar ? get it now!</a> </html> > ______________________________________________ > Meteorite-list mailing list > Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > -- Marc D.
