@SteelFolk steel is usually iron doped with carbon.

@johnabs @SteelFolk

Yea, as I stated true color is also called streak color or powder color. You will find it more often refered to as streak color.

See here for a source: https://geology.ecu.edu/geol1501/mineral/hematite/

@SteelFolk

Ok so I think there is some confusion here... Hemetite is red "true color" and dark-blue to grey "apparent color" (that is, its color in a crystalline form). The true color is also called its powder color or steak color. In other words, when its solid it will look silvery gray to dark-blue... when crushed to a powder it will look red.

Magnetite is a some what different substance. Hematite is pure black ruse, or Iron III oxide, the red rust you are used to seeing on iron is Iron II oxide. Magnetite is a mix of Iron II oxide, Iron III oxide, and Iron in a specific crystalline form

Magnetite is magnetic, other forms of iron rust are not. Hemetite has a metallic like luster where magnetite does not. Magnetite can also form several crystalline forms including cubic forms (which are very rare).

Magnetites streak color and apparent color are the same, black.

@johnabs @SteelFolk

Im less certain of my stance the more we talk.

And to point 1 i see only shades of red and blue, red being henetites streak color and blue being its crystaline color. The reason im skeptical is cecause witb thin film i usually expect the full color spectrum including greens.

@johnabs

I honestly cant find any source that addresses if it is the thin film effect or not.. several reasons I dont think it is.

1) If it were thin film you should see a rainbow of colors develop, rather we see either a reddish color (its powder color) or a shade of purplish blue.. but you wont see other colors, like green, develop

2) hemetite that is thin enough to see through, but still far too thick for thin film, will still have a bluish quality to it

3) The thin film effects I know of are with transparent oxides like aluminum and titanium. Hematite oxides are not transparent.

All that said, hell if i know, maybe it is thin film and there is some explanation I dont know of where it could only create blue interference.

@SteelFolk

@johnabs @SteelFolk yes but the color blue in this case isnt from light interference like it is in the other examples. Hemetite is just a very dark blue color and looks blue when relatively transparent but black when thicker.

@SteelFolk @johnabs

Yup and thats cause the natural type of rust on iron (red rust) is brittle.. black rust created intentionally however is stronger without the cracking and chipping.

@feld

It would be if he actually changed... but it is so obviously him playing people, to the point of absurdity, I highly doubt anyone in their rightmind really beleives he changed. He simply did what he had to do to stay in office as a democrat, nothing more. This is obvious with him almost exclusively hiring poorly qualified token minorities clearly more as a dog and pony show to give the very impression he did. If anyone actually thinks he cares about minority rights rather than just attempts to abuse and use them to advantage, they are poorly mistaken.

@PadreWil @georgetakei

@johnabs You are thinking of aluminium oxide or titanium oxide coatings... in this case the color is just always a solid back.

@PJ_Evans @georgetakei

I literally just watched a video of him trying to shake hands with people who werent there then walking around like he doesnt know where he is. There was a good 20 minutes of it... yea he is senile.

Blueing steel is a process of intentionally rusing steel as a treatment designed to prevent the rusting of steel.

The key is if you control the type of rust you can create a hard protective coating as opposed to natural rust which is more brittle.

@miramarvess @georgetakei

Not sure I'm following what your saying?

@gabe

I keep trying to ubderstand you, which is why everytime inkeep asking for clarity...

So he shoukd have done good with his money... he has, he is literally the biggest philantropist in his country and did massive good with it.

@gabe So you are saying he is a bad person because he didnt giveaway his mo ey, somethi g youve also disagreed with.. you are making no sense... if you think he is a bad person for keeping 360 million that was given to him then you are agreeing with my original assertion, that your sole accusation is, he was given mo ey and choose to not give most of it away, ergo your sole accusation reduces to hin being rich (and staying rich)

@gabe first off he did use and continues to use his great wealth for good, dumping a great deal into his fou dation commited to educaring the poor.

So if thats all you meant then you are simply wrong.

@gabe Just checked, the Dawoods are in fact one of the largest philantropists in all of pakistan. They have donated huge swaths of money to form the dawood group who focuses on bringing free education to low income families in the area..

So unsuprisingly your notion was complete nonsense and in fact the exact opposite is true. Your whole argument very clearly relies on the assumption that a person who is rich is by default a bad person.

@gabe So your assertion is 1) he i herited money 2) he didnt make hinself poor or middle class after he i herited that money?

Sounds a hell of a lot like your whoke accusation boils down to "he is rich" afterall.

@gabe Then by all means, please feel free to provide individual examples of things the billionairs in this case did that was immoral.. at least then I might agree with you.

@gabe Your statement was as follows:

> The individual billionaire could have done much good with their wealth; they did not. They could have supported a more just economic system that gave them less unearned wealth and better protected the rights of the weak & poor; they did not (indeed they did the opposite). These choices deserve moral blame, especially since they are now individually in the public eye.

These assumptions are blanket statements about rich people, and based solely on them being rich... You have no idea what good, if any, they did with their wealth in the past (or would continue to do in the future). You have no idea if they fought for a better system that protected the weak or poor, again, you knew nothing about these people and assumed, based solely on them being rich, that they were guilty of the above.
