Categories For Deletion/Category:BBS Software And Category:BBS


The following discussion comes from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, where it is currently listed as unresolved. It may be reviewed again in the future in the light of evolving standards and guidelines for categorization. 22:13, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Not enough input for a consensus. I made both nominated categories (which had been emptied) into "redirects" to keep things neat but of course that can be reversed at any time. -[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")] 22:45, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC) Unnecessary abbreviation, the proper categories are :Category:Bulletin board system software and :Category:Bulletin board systems.

Even though "RAM" is more widely used, the article here is Random access memory. This isn't a jargon file, we should not use initialisms. This especially applies to categories, which are self-descriptive. Rhobite 18:17, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)

    Alloy


    An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resultant material has metallic properties. An alloy with two components is called a binary alloy; one with three is a ternary alloy; one with four is a quaternary alloy. The result is a metallic substance with properties different from those of its components. Alloys are usually designed to have properties that are more desirable than those of their components. For instance, steel is stronger than iron, one of its main elements, and brass is more durable than copper, but more attractive than zinc. Unlike pure metals, many alloys do not have a single melting point. Instead, they have a melting range in which the material is a mixture of solid and liquid phases. The temperature at which melting begins is called the solidus, and that at which melting is complete is called the liquidus. Special alloys can be designed with a single melting point, however, and these are called eutectic mixtures. Sometimes an alloy is just named for the base metal, as 14 karat (58%) gold is an alloy of gold with other elements. The same holds for silver used in jewellery, and aluminium used structurally. Alloys include:
  • amalgam
  • brass
  • bronze
  • duralumin
  • electrum
  • intermetallics
  • Mu-metal
  • pewter
  • solder
  • spiegeleisen
  • stainless steel

    "14k gold is an alloy of gold " <- does the "k" mean carat? -- Tarquin 18:46 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)

    Link suggestions

    An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Alloy article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
    ''Tip:'' Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add to this page. — LinkBot 01:03, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

    Compound?

    Looks like there is an inconsistence between alloy and chemical compound: --E3c2d6ec0ca59f4588b8bb5cb621cfa6 12:42, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC) Alloy: "''An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, ...''" Chemical compound: "''This is why materials such as brass ... or chocolate are considered mixtures or alloys rather than compounds.''"

    Alloys


    Alloys are materials made up of more than one chemical element, at least one of which must be a metal. The combination of elements has metallic properties, different than the base elements.

    Cymbal Alloys


    Cymbals are made from four main alloys, all of them copper-based. These are: Bell Bronze, Malleable Bronze, Brass and Nickel Silver. See also bell, gong, cymbal making.

    Bell Bronze

    Bell bronze, also known as ''bell metal'', is the traditional alloy used for fine cymbals, and also many gongs and, as the name suggests, bells. It is normally stated to be one part tin to four parts copper, that is 20% tin, and this is still the most common formula. But there has always been some variation. Larger and smaller bells are cast with differing amounts of tin, and some bell, gong and cymbal makers use small but significant amounts of other elements, notably silver, gold and phosphorus. Bell bronze is a two-phase alloy, meaning that some of the tin is not dissolved in the copper grains but exists between them. This makes the metal harder and more brittle than a single-phase alloy, and also affects the way the metal responds to hardening by hammering and lathing, and greatly restricts the use of mechanised techniques of manufacture. One notable alloy in this group is Paiste Signature Alloy, the subject of patents in various countries. The http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4,809,581.WKU.&OS=PN/4,809,581&RS=PN/4,809,581 US patent reveals that it is phosphor bronze shaped in hot and cold state pretty much like other bell bronze cymbals. Major orchestras generally use bell bronze cymbals, which are capable of a greater dynamic range than any others. Examples: Anatolian, Bosphorous, Istanbul, Masterwork, Meinl Byzance and Marathon B18, Paiste Signature and Traditionals, Paiste 602 and some Exotic Percussion, Paiste Sound Creation and Sound Formula, Sabian HH and HHX, Sabian AA and AAX, most Sabian Signature, Saluda Mist, Saluda Voodoo and Saluda Voodoo EX, Spizzichino, Ufip, Wuhan, Zildjian A and A Custom, Zildjian K and K Custom, Zildjian Z Custom.

    Cymbal Alloys


    While I'm delighted to have information added to this page and corrected, there have been some errors introduced by recent changes. Things that I'm really glad someone picked up:
  • Saluda Glory is now correctly listed as b8, I had said b20. Dunno how I got this wrong, I have only their (awesome) Mist and Voodoo series in my current set and just slipped up somehow. Things I've changed:
  • The wiki link to phases of matter was unhelpful IMO. The usage here is a specialised one of metallurgy, and isn't the same term at all.
  • The comment "traditional and brilliant" against Saluda Glory was unnecessary. Many different lines from other makers are also available in optional finishes, but AFAIK the alloy is the same regardless of finish in all cases. So I don't think we want to list all the available finishes here.
  • There was one example out of order (Saluda SSX). This ordering is not so much for the reader as for the editor, to make it easy to avoid duplication. Generally people seem to have got the hang of it. Things I'm not sure about:
  • I've left Saluda SSX listed as Nickel-Silver, but I wonder where this info came from. The Saluda website doesn't say. If we don't know for sure, better not to say. The lists are not complete by any means, but they are as comprehensive as I can make them. It may well be true, it would be quite revolutionary and Saluda are just the crew to do it. Andrewa 17:34, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC) I'm afraid I think the changes from nickel silver to Nickel Bronze are just plain wrong. I think I know what you're trying to get at, but cymbal makers all over the world (and many metallurgists and metal supply companies) all call the stuff ''nickel silver''. See the Paiste and Meinl web pages for a start, or go into any drum shop that stocks Meinl NS (note the 'S') or Paiste 402 series cymbals and have a look. I've added a comment to the article on nickel silver to point out that ''nickel bronze'' might be a better name. But it's not our job
