Are You a Steel Nerd? Quiz

10 out of 11. I missed the kinetics one!!

10 out of 11. I missed the kinetics one!!

Sounds like kinetics is the most difficult question.

 

[Don Hanson III]

10/11

Not too bad! I didn’t know what kinetics was.

Same here, but I didn't see the right answer for kinetics, so guessed.

 

[Rhinoknives1]

9/11 the test didn’t have my full focus. On the phone while on the Throne!

 

[jdm61]

9-11 because I hate science and and as such, don't know jack about kinetics.

 

[PirateSeulb]

?/11 because I never got my results just a spinning ring of dots.

 

[i4Marc]

10/11. Rate of transformation was my first choice but I switched.Grrrr. I'm a steel dummy.

 

[hugofeynman]

9/11. Also on the phone and misread one question. The one I didn’t know is kinetics.

 

[skillgannon]

10 if 11. Definitely need to study up.

Defenitly not a fair test. Some of the wrong answers were so much better than the real thing.

 

[mete]

It is unfair , just to confuse me ! Sorbite ,metallurgic or chemical as in the salt of sorbic acid , a food preservative .
Of course I still am confused by braise and braze !!

 

[samuraistuart]

11/11 Pretty easy quiz, tho.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Hey! I got 10/11 on a what I believe to be a technicality!

What steel phase are knife steels primarily made up of?

I just figured that normalized steel is primarily pearlite. We all start with unhardened steel. You should have specified "finished knives".

Come on, teach.... give me a half point at least.... I got Kinetics right for pete's sake!

 

[Fonedork]

11/11 but I guessed on several...

 

[DeadboxHero]

You mean it was too easy?

Yes, but I know you could stump us all too

 

[Britt_Askew]

10/11 kinetics threw me too. When I first came here I would have missed every one. I have learned so much from you guys, Thanks

 

[3fifty7]

Missed secondary hardening and kinetics.

 

[Willie71]

Larrin takes the “too easy” comments to heart, and next quiz will see lots of 0 and 1 scores....

Maybe if I was smart enough I could have linked to the advanced quiz for those with a score of 9 or higher.

 

[jdm61]

There is also an issue of how carbon makes steel hard without the material being heated to a high temp and quenched.

10/11

The secondary hardening question tripped me up! I haven't come across the term before, so I managed to learn something too. Nice quiz!
