The Periodic Table - Chemistry
The chemical symbols are shown in the periodic table, where all the elements are displayed in order of atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom)
The elements in the table are arranged in columns called groups - each group contains elements with similar chemical properties
Tumblr media
Zoom in on the image - the elements are colour-coded - you'll see which elements are metals, metalloids, non-metals and more!

What is so special about a cast iron pan?
Cooking pans made of cast iron are favored for their durability, excellent heat retention, and versatility. Cast iron pans has the ability to retain and distribute heat evenly across its surface, can last for generations, and work well on various heat sources. When properly seasoned, they develop a natural non-stick surface, making them suitable for a range of cooking methods. Additionally, cast iron can contribute to iron enrichment in food and is more affordable than some high-end cookware materials. Despite these advantages, proper care, including regular seasoning and avoiding harsh cleaning methods, is essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of cast iron pans.

Residual Stress in Metal Additive Manufacturing
One manufacturing process in particular that needs to pay close attention to residual stresses is the fairly new field of metal additive manufacturing (AM). Most metal AM processes involve high thermal gradients and fast cooling rates, which can lead to high residual stresses in parts. These stresses can be severe enough to cause failure even during the build process, or immediately upon cooling, before parts have even been removed from the build plate. Residual stresses have been said to be the most common cause of catastrophic failure of metal AM parts. As such, heat treatments before parts are removed from the build plate are common, including heat treatments known as 'stress relieving'.

Researchers were running the experiment at Sandia when the discovery was made. They only meant to evaluate how cracks formed and spread through a nanoscale piece of platinum using a specialized electron microscope technique they had developed to repeatedly pull on the ends of the metal 200 times per second. Surprisingly, about 40 minutes into the experiment, the damage reversed course. One end of the crack fused back together as if it was retracing its steps, leaving no trace of the former injury. Over time, the crack regrew along a different direction.

By the way, if you're looking for reference on how to render materials - and especially distressed materials - I recommend looking at antique and second hand stores online. You can find some really good reference there.

Why are some elements metalloids?
It's because some elements have both metallic and non-metallic properties. Hope this helped! 😁
