Thaumcraft moved on from wands in Tc6, so I wanted to do some service to the various 'casting gauntlets' added by it and some of the addons to it.

Casting Gauntlet "A more modern interpretation of Auromantic manipulation tools, the Caster's gauntlet is built off of studies into the nature of vis in its natural, primal state itself, and how best to harness it without exploiting and potentially destroying the natural sources of aura. thus endangering the balance of the local environment. Initial studies into this topic came from the properties of both the sojourner's wand cap, and the amber wand core. The design of the Gauntlet includes an energized amber lens for the drawing in of vis directly from the local environment, while the ergonomic and practical 'glove' design allows for more direct manipulation of vis as if it were an object one could wield. Some would say this is like reinventing the wheel, and they could very well be right. The iron used in its construction is prone to corrosion through extended use, and personally I would not trust a thin sheet of leather to protect me from all matter of spells that these devices can sling. This is a prototype to eventually be replaced." (Do I reaaaally need to say where its from? -.-)

Silver Plated Casting Gauntlet “Building off of the original design, changing out some fittings with more arcanely aligned metals such as gold and silver provides a slight boost in efficiency, and greatly reduces wear and tear from channeling.” (Not based off of anything actually, but I feel this would be a logical next step for base thaumcraft.)

Thaumium Casting Gauntlet “The charged thaumium that makes up this gauntlet’s build has twofold uses, it both allows for a greatly more efficient channeling tool, and a great bludgeon when vis is not so available. Unfortunately, the nature of thaumium means that its channeling ability degrades with wear and tear, though fortunately not nearly as fast as thaumium wands would.” (Based on Thaumic Revelation’s addition to the CG formula. A greatly appreciated addition tbh)

Elarium Casting Gauntlet “This extremely gaudy tool can directly channel psionic energies into more vis, and it greatly improves the users mechanical ability over the tidal forces of this world. Directly applying so much elarium to oneself however can have some damaging effects on the psyche. Just like with Elarium caps, there are much better uses for the substance than this…” (Not really based on anything, I just wanted to expand the repertoire a bit. This one is more worldbuilding than game design)

Alchemist’s Casting Gauntlet “New. Improved. With 30% more alchemy. This gauntlet is perfect for a burgeoning alchemist, with its highly durable materials, heat and chemical resistant lining, as well as inbuilt pipe management tools, it is a great deal! You can even pump certain essentia into it for a variety of boosts to its efficiency, power, or the like.” (Not really based on anything, I just wanted to expand the repertoire a bit.)

Voidseer’s Casting Gauntlet “It was only logical to take the next step from Thaumium, developing a gauntlet made from both voidmetal and shadowmetal would ensure its survivability long after other gauntlets would be worn out. Its Voidmetal build also allows it to draw in aura faster and more efficiently. It even allows for further tinkering, especially with forces of pure vis harvested from the warp itself, colloquially known as Impetus.” (Based on the Voidmetal gauntlet from Thaumic Augmentation.)

NovaCorp™️ Casting Gauntlet “The latest in aural manipulation and the field of aspectual science as a whole, the Casting Gauntlet (sponsored by NovaCorp™️) will revolutionize how you go about your daily lives! By pulling Aura directly out of the local region into its internal reservoir, it will pretty much always* remain charged! Manipulate arcana! Throw fireballs!

Additionally, aluminum cans are lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to corrosion, which further enhances their appeal as a packaging solution.

One of the key factors driving the demand for aluminum cans is their high recyclability. Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials globally, and the recycling rate for aluminum beverage cans is notably high compared to other packaging materials. This makes aluminum cans a sustainable packaging choice, appealing to both consumers and businesses who are increasingly focused on reducing their environmental impact. The ability to recycle aluminum repeatedly without degrading its quality is a major advantage over other materials, which often lose their integrity after multiple recycling cycles. This contributes to the growing preference for aluminum beverage cans, especially in a world that is placing greater emphasis on sustainability and circular economies.

On the other hand, steel is also used for beverage cans, though its market share is much smaller compared to aluminum. Steel cans have certain advantages that make them attractive for specific applications. One of the key benefits of steel cans is their ambient nature—steel cans do not need to be cooled during packaging and shipping, which can simplify logistics and reduce storage costs. This characteristic makes steel cans an attractive choice for companies seeking cost-effective packaging solutions with simpler handling requirements.

Steel cans are also the most tamper-resistant option for packaging beverages. They provide superior protection against external factors like light, water, and air, which can all negatively affect the quality of the product inside. By offering robust protection, steel cans can extend the shelf life of beverages, reducing spoilage and wastage. This makes steel cans particularly suitable for products that require long shelf lives, such as certain alcoholic beverages and canned foods. Furthermore, steel cans are less likely to be damaged during transportation, which makes them a reliable option for packaging in markets where product integrity is critical.

Acquiring a thorough understanding of stainless steel bars

The production of a stainless steel bar requires the use of steel that has been alloyed with non-corrosive or low-corrosive metals in order to confer stainless and low-corrosive qualities on the finished product. It is more resistant to corrosion and wear than other forms of steel and metal, and it can also take stains better than other materials. Because of these characteristics, it is an appealing material for a diverse range of industrial uses, including the manufacture of cookware, grills, garden equipment, and even household furniture.

Because of their portability, certain lengths of steel appear to be manufactured in large quantities, whilst other lengths of steel may be forged on demand in order to construct one-of-a-kind assemblages. At a steel refinery, the raw material is converted into finished products such as bars as part of the refining process.Tri clover fittings manufacturers are the best.

Because it is possible to form steel bar into a wide range of shapes and sizes, it is frequently utilised in the manufacturing of utensils and cookware, such as pots, pans, and cutlery. Steel bar is employed in the manufacturing of a great deal of various everyday things, in addition to those that are used in the kitchen. Stainless Steel SMS Union will always help you.

It would appear that stainless steel is a form of steel that has been treated such that, unlike conventional steel, it does not oxidise, corrode, or rust in the same manner. Steel comes in a wide variety of forms because its varied applications necessitate the application of specialised coatings. One example of this is the reflecting shine applied to flatware. It is possible to give it a mirror-like sheen, a brushed finish, the illusion of being matte, or even a more granular texture. You can easily find Dairy Fittings Manufacturers in India.

It is true that chromate andough metal; it has a high melting point, polishes well, has no discernible aroma or taste, and can be easily shaped into many forms. In addition to chromium, it can also include nickel, nitrogen, and molybdenum in varying concentrations, all of which affect its properties.Duplex Steel Valve Manufacturer in India is outstanding.

The presence of chromium gives steel its stainless characteristics. Corrosion may progress more rapidly if the steel is employed in a certain non-oxygenated environment, such underwater, where its re-healing properties are ineffective.

A New Life for Old Stainless Bars

Stainless-steel bar requires little in the way of upkeep due to its resistance to high and low temperatures as well as pressure. Household appliances like kettles, saucepans and cutlery might benefit from the use of low-maintenance metals because of their high production volume and frequent usage.

After their useful life is up, steel products may be easily recycled since they are 100 percent recyclable and still have value on the scrap metal market. Its ability to be recycled and reused makes it a desirable option in the construction industry, where strict regulations are pushing businesses to be as "green" as possible.

Exploring the Stainless Steel Casting: Factors to Consider

Stainless steel casting is a widely adopted manufacturing process because of stainless steel's incredible properties and durability. Whether you're in the automotive industry, kitchenware production, or any sector requiring metal parts, stainless steel casting is on your radar. But how do you make the right choice? 

Here are the essential factors you should consider when selecting stainless steel casting.

Methods of Casting and Availability

Castability is the most important factor when choosing stainless steel for casting. There are several types of stainless steel, but not all of them can be cast. The fluidity of certain grades may be lower while molten, but they may be easier to work with when machined. The grades 201, 303, 304, 309, 316, 410, 17-4 ph, 2205, and 2207 of cast stainless steel are among the most common.

Most foundries worldwide, and notably in China, primarily cast 304 and 316 grades of stainless steel. The more difficult 17-4 ph and 2205 duplex steels are different from the expertise of foundries like CFS, which has been in the business of stainless steel investment casting for almost 30 years.

Ability to Resist Corrosion

Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion is a major selling point. The amount of corrosion resistance provided by various grades varies. For instance, austenitic stainless steels have excellent corrosion resistance because of the high chromium content in these steels. Because of its corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel is often used. Molybdenum improves the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel, making it an excellent choice for use in marine and chemical environments. Many huge rubber product exporters in India also use stainless steel casting in manufacturing their products due to its corrosion resistance. 

Durability, Flexibility, and Strength as Quality Indicators

The quality of a stainless steel casting grade is vital, and it may be judged by characteristics like its strength, flexibility, and toughness. In most cases, the austenitic stainless steel's increased toughness and ductility may be attributed to its higher nickel content. Keep in mind that alloy percentage isn't the only factor. When extra durability is absolutely necessary, 

precipitation-hardening or duplex stainless steels are your best bet. For one European project that CFS Foundry worked on that required outstanding strength, 2205 duplex stainless steel casting proved the best option after extensive testing.

If machining is necessary after casting, heat treatment is recommended. Internal tensions are reduced, which facilitates further machining.

Possessing a Magnetism:

The stainless steel grade's magnetic properties are also crucial to think about. Due to the chromium in them, even the most basic stainless steel will attract a magnet. When carbon is added, the material becomes martensitic and more tougher.

Stainless steels with a greater chromium and nickel content are magnetic, although the most common grades, such as 316 and 310, are not. Non-magnetic metals are ideal for applications that call for them. The 400 series, which includes ferritic and martensitic grades, may be more appropriate for uses needing magnetic responsiveness. The term "ferromagnetic" is used to describe their increased permeability. This class may also have duplex grades like 2205.

CFS Foundry can tailor magnetism to specific applications by adding nickel, resulting in magnetic or non-magnetic properties. Stainless steel casting is used by rubber product exporters in India because of its stainless steel grade's magnetic properties. 

Remember that the success of your project depends on your selection of the appropriate quality of stainless steel casting. Consider all of this and make well-informed choices; if you still need clarification, get some professional advice.

Final Thoughts: 

Choosing stainless steel casting might seem daunting, but by keeping these factors in mind, you can make informed decisions that benefit your product and bottom line. Remember, the best choice isn't always the cheapest or the most popular but the one that aligns best with your unique requirements.

Sujan Industries is a top name in stainless steel casting. If you need great steel casting services, look no further. With Sujan Industries, you're choosing quality and reliability every time.

The saliva of a vampire contains an anticoagulant (a substance that prevents blood from clotting, allowing it to flow for longer). When vampire saliva comes in contact with human blood, it also triggers a rush of endorphins, making the overall experience for a victim to be rather pleasurable—so pleasurable that the victim could forget it ever happened.

Upon feeding, a vampire's complexion becomes flushed and healthy; their skin also increases in temperature, making them look more human at first glance. This effect lasts several hours to several days depending on how much blood is consumed. Conversely, the longer a vampire goes without blood, one may notice their skin becomes paler and they look more fatigued.

The eye of a vampire contains a layer of tissue called a tapetum lucidum, found behind the retina. This allows a vampire to see perfectly in the dark. When a light is shined into a vampire's eye, it glows.

A vampire is unable to experience a drug high by ingesting drugs; they can experience a drug high by drinking the blood of someone on drugs.

Vampires possess superhuman speed, strength, stamina, agility, and grace. 

It takes a lot to make a vampire tired, but it can happen.

Vampires do not need to sleep, but some may do so for pleasure or if they are fatigued.

A vampire's power boosts upon drinking blood. The more blood in their system, the stronger they are.

To kill a vampire, one may either remove its heart (causing instantaneous death), or setting it afire and ensuring it is nothing more than ashes and embers. The second option is more difficult because the body must be completely destroyed, unrecognizable. Decapitation only causes temporary paralysis.

The demonic energy contained within a vampire's blood is responsible for a semblance of homeostasis: It acts much like a human circulatory system in the fact it allows blood to flow within the body; it also acts like a digestive system in the fact that it "burns" away all that a vampire ingests. Vampires do not excrete.

When the blood of a vampire is spilt, one may notice that it moves on its own, oftentimes in an attempt to rejoin the body. When left to its devices, a vampire's blood evaporates into hot steam, leaving no traces of its existence.

Vampires have significant power over their own blood. They can harden it at will, transforming it into a substance much like crystal. Vampires will use this ability to generate razor-sharp claws, or to shield their skin from attacks. It is strong enough to shatter steel.

The blood of a vampire is extremely corrosive, though it has a pleasant aroma.

As the cells of a vampire are, for all purposes, dead, they are resistant to disease and infection as bacteria and viruses are uninterested in them.

Vampires are pale, and, as explained above, become paler when starved of blood. They are incapable of tanning—their cells no longer produce melanin as their cells are dead and frozen in place.

Other than saliva (which is altered by vampiric infection) and blood, all bodily fluids are purged when a human transforms. Vampires weep blood rather than tears; vampires do not ejaculate or discharge; vampires lack lymph.

Vampires are "undead"—they exist in suspension between life and death. Because of this, telepaths cannot peer into their minds (if they attempt to do so, they are struck with a splitting headache); they cannot be tracked; no form of magic can detect that they are even there. 

When a human is transformed, the infection does kill them, but the demonic component of a vampire's blood prevents the soul from exiting the body, trapping it within. Hence, vampires still experience thought and emotion—impulses of the soul translated into chemical processes by the brain. In this case, the demonic energy of a vampire acts like the nervous system, allowing thought and emotion to occur no different than a typical human.

A newly-made vampire is dubbed a "pup" (adorable, I know); a vampire who makes another vampire is called a "sire"; the term used to refer to a vampire of considerable age and power is "coagula".

As breathing is not a requirement for vampires, they are resistant to asphyxiation, drowning, and poisonous gases—this also makes them terrifyingly efficient swimmers, deadly, even. Most vampires still breathe out of habit, or to speak, or because they feel uncomfortable without their sense of smell.

Vampires have greatly increased senses of smell, sight, taste, and hearing.

Because of a vampire's enhanced taste, certain foods disgust them. (Garlic.) Smell also factors into this. Some vampires find it difficult to eat altogether; some vampires have forgotten how to eat.

Because of their superhuman sight, vampires have no need to wear contacts or glasses, though some may still do so in order to blend in with humans.

The origin of vampires remains a mystery. It is, however, proven that they are connected to demons in the fact that it is demonic magic that animates them. Some demons, especially if they are animalistic, shun daylight, much like how some vampires are killed by it and how all vampires don't really appreciate the sun too much. Some demons, such as the chupacabra, also sustain themselves by drinking blood. Vampires who have fallen out of touch with their humanity behave and oftentimes appear demonic.

The cure for vampirism? Very rare, but there is one way. The vampire must come in contact with sephira—the magic produced and utilized by angels. Immense amounts of sephira are released when an angel abandons their mortal disguise. It eats away at the demonic magic within a vampire, eventually freeing them of their curse. Sephira is also emanated by yliaster, the material that angels are composed of, and crushing yliaster has a similar effect to angels reverting to their true forms, though it's definitely not as grandiose.

Vampires can have sex in the same manner humans do; when a male vampire is sexually aroused, blood flows down there. However, as explained above, vampires do not produce semen or discharge, and so, while they may feel the sensation of an orgasm, nothing else will happen.

A vampire can elongate its mouth and dislocate its jaw like that of a snake. 

Vampires possess a pair of retractable fangs that may appear during sexual arousal or bouts of extreme emotion, especially anger.

Vampires possess an extreme healing factor, allowing them to repair damage to their bodies in the space of seconds to hours depending on the severity of their wounds. Some vampires can reattach severed limbs. This goes along with the whole thing about the demonic energy in their veins doing everything it can to preserve the body it inhabits.

Typically, as vampires grow older, their tolerance for sunlight decreases, and they gain significantly inhuman attributes—this is all tied to how psychologically human they are. A vampire who has forsaken their humanity definitely looks and acts the part.

When denied of blood for an extended period of time, a vampire loses its rationality and devolves into a ghoul, a bat-like monster whose only instinct is to drink blood, regardless of who it belongs to.

For a human to become a vampire, vampiric blood must be introduced to the bloodstream. After a brief sensation of euphoria, much like an orgasm, the human experiences intense, burning pain as the demonic agent of a vampire's blood alters the body. Depending on how much blood is in the bloodstream, this process can lasts hours to days, and is enough to send a human into catatonia. 

Sunlight makes vampires uncomfortable; in some cases, it will burn them and kill them. Younger vampires, more often than not, have a higher tolerance than older ones.

There are twelve special vampires, called wraiths, whose power(s) greatly exceeds that of a typical vampire. Their power is able to be obtained by killing and draining their blood. You killed it, you bought it. If a wraith is fed to a ghoul, the ghoul retains its intelligence and human shape. An example of a wraith is Dracula.

A group of vampires is called a clan.

Human blood is significantly more appealing to vampires in comparison to animal blood.

Vampires can detect blood-related abnormalities with ease.

Vampires are able to hypnotize humans by making eye contact with them, forcing them to do their bidding. Humans with significant mental fortitude may resist. Animals are unable to resist.

Holy items do not repel vampires. They can enter churches as they wish, touch holy water, etc.

Vampires do not need to be invited into homes, though they may ask if they want to be polite.

When killed, a vampire's body ruptures and explodes into a fountain of blood, leaving no corpse behind.

The “Simple” Truth: Aziraphale’s Motivations for Lying to Himself (A Meta)

Aziraphale Lies. A lot. But, for the majority of the mini-series, he lies to protect himself (whether it be from God’s wrath, or Gabriel’s wrath, or Uriel’s wrath...or...pretty much anyone from Heaven because they’re all abusive jerks). 

I want to be very clear before jumping into my meta that this is not at all a judgment call on Aziraphale’s character. When in an abusive situation, you should 100% do your best to keep yourself safe. And Lies, for Aziraphale, is that protection and specifically against Heaven, it’s his only effective tool to cope and resist the abuses he’s dealt. 

However, that means some of his lies, after 6000 years of repeating them, are internalized. 

He’s having difficulties coming to terms with his own abuse, and so he does, on several levels repress his instinct for action. He lies to himself about his motivations for stopping the end of the world. The gif above shows a very drunk Aziraphale telling Crowley he can’t disobey. Although, he doesn’t quite get his words out. 

He clearly wants to help Crowley. In the book, he says as much:

He loves Earth after all, and more than that he loves his life on Earth. He loves having space away from his abusive “home” life where yes, he’s not exactly free, but he’s certainly not the captive he would be in Heaven.

Despite his instincts, like his gut response to tell Crowley instead of Heaven, he has internalized many of the behaviors Heaven has taught him.  At the end of the above passage, for example, HE. Chooses. To. Tell. Heaven. Anyway. because he’s been conditioned to trust Heaven. And that:

Angel’s and Demons are sworn enemies, and under no circumstances should they interact

That Heaven is unquestionably “good” and Hell unquestionably “bad”

Being critical of Heaven is the same as betraying Heaven

The Great Plan is unquestionable

His loves/interests are unimportant

And many more.

While we, the audience, can tell that these behaviors are destructive to Aziraphale’s sense of self-worth (and really function just as propaganda designed to help maintain the presumed “goodness” of Heaven). 

But Aziraphale? 

He’s unable to stop the corrosive effects of these falsehoods. And, on top of it all, he has no incentive to let go of his “coping mechanism” that thus far has resulted in his and Crowley’s safety -- lying to himself. 

But what Aziraphale needs is validation for his actual interests, his instincts, his passions. Look at the way he absolutely devastated when Crowley asks him about his sword.

He so badly needs to be loved unconditionally, to feel he’s doing good, and fulfilling his role of the Ineffable Plan. He tells himself these lives, hoping for deliverance from his “side”. Heaven, unfortunately, never delivers once.  And it leaves Aziraphale floating, waiting for rescue, safety, and protection from Heaven. 

And he finds that In Crowley.

Contrast the above distress with the look of relief below. Sure, it’s not the trademark giddy look that Aziraphale employs when looking at crepes, but it is one of calmness that Heaven has not afforded him yet.

They both know their logic here is faulty. Angels are just as capable of doing “bad” as much as demons are capable of doing good. But, they let themselves believe the lie. It comforts them and alleviates the self-destructive behaviors, if only for a second. 

When later confronted with his actions, the relief, the validation, >the love< from Crowley is all gone.  Instead of a calm, reassuring tone, like the one Crowley gives him earlier, this is truly the annoyed voice of God. She knows what he did with his sword, he knows what he did he did without asking, but lying to God is the only way he can get out of this situation without direct physical harm (most likely through falling). 

Lying to himself, about the goodness or badness of his actions (when truely they were humane actions) represses the guilt he feels for lying to God and allows him the distance to successfully keep lying when others question his motives. 

I think it is fair to say then, that his repression is a byproduct of the lies he’s feeding himself in order to survive Heaven. However, with real consequences to his relationship with Crowley.

Lying To Crowley

Crowley refuses to lie to Aziraphale. He won’t treat Aziraphale like he does every other Angel or Demon because he refuses to repress his feelings. Sure, he hides them from Heaven and Hell, but that’s usually from prying eyes, never Aziraphale.  And never from himself.  

Aziraphale, in contrast, lies his ass off to Crowley.  This is not to say Aziraphale is incapable of telling Crowley the truth, but as the apocalypse grows near, and shit hits the fan, Aziraphale’s ability to address his abusers and the looming threat of annihilation grows more certain, he falters. 

His lies, lashing out at anyone and everything that could jeopardize his safety, and Humanity’s safety.  His internalized concerns have bubbled to the surface, and he feels like he has no choice but to protect himself from the oncoming dangers.

Look at the below gif and have your hearts broken with me. As a direct result of the lies he tells himself, he’s unable to come to terms with the fact Heaven is not just questionable, it’s wrong. He’s on the wrong side, and instead, he needs to be with Crowley.

This gif is a great example of how him lying to himself negatively harms himself, and reveals his true motivation for lying. Safety. 

He’s trying to remind himself of the kind of safety he’d be risking in telling Crowley the truth that he wants to work together. It’s a plea, an act of desperation because his greatest fears are culminating all at once and making a decision could cost him his “home”, his identity as an angel, and Crowley if they’re unsuccessful. 

We witness at the beginning of Episode 3 how deep the ineffable husband’s bond really is, but also how (even though noone else believes it) they can not acknowledge their friendship/relationship/companionship.  To contrast against the above moment, we see that this is not the rejection he’s hoping it would be. There’s no resolve, no strength, no reasoning. It’s merely the highlighted talking points he’s meant to agree with.  

But, it’s clearly a lie. 

It puts off decision making. It reaffirms a status quo that, while very abusive, feigns stability.  

In this gif, he’s pleading with Crowley. 

He’s scared shitless because his two lives are crashing before him.  He’s done a good job lying to himself that he can hide his love of >Crowley< Earth, while still finding a way to follow Heaven’s orders. 

But, now he’s got to make a choice. And it’s clear the choice he wants to take. He WANTS to go with Crowley. Go back and listen to how he says “run away together?” on the street. It’s pure unadulterated want. He wants to go off with Crowley somewhere only they know and never return. But he physically can’t until he is truthful for himself. 

So he lies. Again. And it looks like he’s being stabbed by an invisible knife.

Now Look at the “not friends” Gif again. He’s telling the ultimate lie here. This is not a distressed Aziraphale trying to get rid of an annoying business partner. This is the face of a mourning man, forcing himself to lie to protect humanity and Crowley. 

At this moment, Aziraphale is denying their relationship and not treating their bond as something shared by equals. He can’t be sure that Crowley will be there to catch him if he loses everything, and he simply can’t lose humanity.  

Lying, that they’re not friends is not true at this moment, nor any other moment in the series. He loves Crowley so badly, that he’s hurting both of them with his lies. But, Crowley has had enough of the lies and slander against their partnership, and he offers to “run away together”.  It is literally the one thing both of them want more than anything else in the world. But, it directly goes against the internalized messaging and safety of Heaven, and Aziraphale’s stressed. So What does he do?

He lies. 

Again. 

And Again.

And Again.

He lies because he needs to begin coping with his trauma, and not lie to himself that everything is alright. 

Once he comes reaches his breaking point – a world where no matter what he would be unable to be WITH Crowley – he confronts his issues. 

Only AFTER CHOOSING Crowley does Aziraphale begin to come to terms with his internalized lies, and finally stop lying to himself about how he feels about Crowley.

Finally, he can heal.

Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk

What Is Hot Die Tool Steel

Tool chemical manufacturers use hot die tool steel to manufacture tools. Many hot die tool steels are good enough to make tools by chemical manufacturers in the market. It is used in various shaping metals, including stamping, extrusion, drawing, piercing, etc. Find the best hot die tool steel if you need it.

A tool made of hot die tool steel has enough hardness after heat treatment, as for metal cutting the HRC of tools is generally 60 above. High-quality hot die tool steel can keep the hardness even under high cutting speed and high-temperature heat conditions. Good resistance to wear is another advantage of hot die tool steel. Under great pressure and friction conditions, hot die tool steel can still keep its shape and size unchanged. Hot die tool steel has some strength and toughness, and this makes the tool made of hot die tool steel in the work can bear a heavy load, impact, and vibration, and the bending stress of the complex to ensure the normal use of tools. Because all the tools will be applied to different working conditions, the hot die tool steel also has some other performance, such as mold steel should also have some of the high-temperature mechanical properties, thermal fatigue, thermal conductivity, and wear-resisting corrosion resistance, etc.

The hot die tool steels also have good technological properties besides usability. To guarantee the production and use of tools, good thermal pressure processing quality and machining performance are important. The steel processing depends on the quality of the chemical manufacturer. Hardenability is a factor in judging good hot die tool steel. Hardenability means the highest performance of hardness that steel can reach after quenching. Hardenability has something to do with the chemical manufacturer of the carbon steel, especially the content, the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardenability. Its quenching degree means hardness distribution of hardened steel from the surface to the inner. Its quenching degree depends on the chemical manufacturer, pureness, and the grain degrees of steel.

As the hot die tool steel will be used in manufacturing different tools, there are certain requirements for the two kinds of performance. The high-quality hot die tool steel decarburization sensitivity must be low for decarburization will lower the hardness. In the same conditions, steel decarburization sensitivity depends on its chemical composition. During heat treatment, the size and shape of the hot die tool steel must be stable. For the hot die tool steel which is used to chemical manufacturer cutter and measuring implement, grind ability is demanded. The grindability is according to the chemical manufacturer, especially vanadium content is important for the grindability.

A tool made of hot die tool steel has enough hardness after heat treatment, as for metal cutting the HRC of tools is generally 60 above. Hot die tool steel has some strength and toughness, and this makes the tool made of hot die tool steel in the work can bear a heavy load, impact, and vibration, and the bending stress of the complex to ensure the normal use of tools. Because all the tools will be applied to different working conditions, the hot die tool steel also has some other performance, such as mold steel should also have some of the high-temperature mechanical properties, thermal fatigue, thermal conductivity, and wear-resisting corrosion resistance, etc.

By touching someone Jizuko can copy their quirk, and the affects of those quirks will change the power levels of the horns she shoots off. For example copying Yari’s quirk qill turn her horns into iron. Jizuko can copy multiple quirks at a time, and the affects of those quirks will continue to remain active even when Jizuko isn’t using them. The more quirks she copies the shorer the time gets for her to use them before the affects of her quirk wear off

Hero name: Rocket Launcher

Runa (Tokoyami X Tsuyu) - Harpie: Harpie allows Runa to gain characteristics of a bird when she pleases, she can turn her arms into wings and her feet into claws which allow her the ability of flight and allow her to grip more securely onto objects.

BIOGRAPHY

III. “Police say it was a ‘night of horror.’”

Father straightens up in his seat, unbowing from over his meal. “Turn that up,” he orders, but Mother is already scrambling to jab the remote at the TV. She lands on her knees in front of the news anchor’s too-stiff shoulders, casted in flickering shadows bold and blue. A child, eager for her daily cartoon.

[DEATH OF COUNCILOR SEO HYUNWOO]

Yejin drops her eyes down to the table. Her wooden chopsticks lay off to the side, meal forgotten. They, too, are dipped in red, seeping through the edges.

“Last night, Councilor Seo was victim of a stabbing just outside of Seoul’s Gangnam district.”

Father snorts. “Is that what they’re calling it?”

Well, Yejin supposes, they’re not exactly wrong.

“Paramedics were called to the scene, but were unable to revive the Councilor. He succumbed to his injuries en route to the hospital." The anchor thins her lips into a grim line. "Although no details have been released to the public, the police have coined the attack as mutant in origin.”

“There it is!” Mother whoops over the anchor’s sympathetic tone—he is survived by his wife and two children—because there it is. For all its posturing, news is never more than morsels, stuck to the corners of the mouth and sputtered out. But that hardly ever matters; details are the crumbs. Mutant is the center.

Reputation carries into death, after all. Unto it.

“Our Yejin’s a celebrity now.” Father grins. “So to speak.”

Yes, her blood would be impossible to miss, mingled with Councilor Seo’s. It’s in the exit wound, the entry, in the bloom across his shirt. The flecks that dot hers. A double helix, swirling.

A mutant is the killer. Was. Will be. An inevitable conclusion, no doubt. Nameless, but with unmistakable blood. A weapon.

None other than her.

I. Here, peace is nourished with blood

She is weaned on hatred, straight from her mother’s breast. Home is full of it, even. Amidst the uncles and the aunties and the sleight of hand, between the crack of the door and the squeak of the floorboards. Beneath packets of Vitamin C.

We barely have anything, says the spoonful of rice. But they take it anyway, she returns, more recite than reply. Father looks up expectantly. Remember to chew it up before you swallow.

Ink is the spark. Her youth is filled with protests (when they are peaceful), riots (when they are not). How easy it is to hate, she thinks, when uniformed plastic is all venom-tipped teeth can sink into. How easy it is to hate, to bash at forms of pallid skin and tattered hair. It barely seems human.

Thus, it is normal to seek blood. It is the only thing that links us, after all. We are corralled into this.

The first time her flesh is sliced open, Yejin’s gasp cuts through the night air. Little more than a nick on a finger, too cautious to turn pages. But her blood becomes a needle, emotion-sharp and jutting into the air. Ready to defend for her. Ready to attack for her, Mother later amends.

Blood is the fire. No more protests, no more riots. No, she is meant for something more. But she is not carted off like a secret. The heralds of her future are none other than her uncles and aunties, always on the periphery. Unsurprising, in retrospect.

Uncle becomes sect, auntie becomes leader. She learns words like rebel and resistance, hope and revolution. They are small in number, scattered across the country. But the time will come, they say, when there will only be one.

Her parents do not change, at least. Only now she joins them on their walks far too late into the night.

She becomes the tip of the spear, one among many. Honed into a weapon, molded into the means. In the end, blood can only fill what it is poured into, no matter how it stains the edges.

II. This is my blood, which is shed for the many

The Councilor is steeped in a multitude of strange habits.

But perhaps they are only a matter of circumstance. She hesitates to name them for what they are. Who is she, a mere observer, to judge what the Councilor does or does not do with his time? Still, she thinks herself rather fortunate. Said habits have made the Councilor into a cautious man. More likely to drive off, alone, down a winding road towards a decrepit looking bar. Away from Gangnam’s infrared eyes.

What does he find here? she wonders. Whom?

Circumstance would have the Councilor slink out from a side door into Yejin’s waiting path. Fortunate, indeed. He does not notice her at first, still and silent underneath the dim light of a streetlamp. Little more than an incongruity, after all. She is well used to it. A plume of smoke trails behind him, acrid and stinging. But at its very top, a note of perfume, feather-light against her cheek.

It takes him a moment, but he throws a haphazard brow in her direction, nearly stumbling over his feet. He moves to brush past her. Yejin intercepts.

The noise he makes is one of frustration, a cross between a growl and a huff of breath, caught in the back of his throat. “Listen…” He drags out the word, a heavy-tongued hiss, and holds up a palm to ward against her. “Whatever… you want right now. Interview, autograph… money?” He scoffs. “'m really not in the mood, so just. Please.”

Money, hm? It always comes down to money. But they are far past the point of it, now. Now…

She gives him a ghost of a smile. “They cry for blood.”

A shard of ox-red bursts from her palm and pierces through his heart. The Councilor jerks in place, eyes wide, lips still formed around a syllable that gave way to nothing but air. What? She imagines him saying. He hacks a cough, mouth shuddering around rivulets of red. What was that about blood?

Yejin does not blink at the spattered warmth against her skin, nor at the bloom that overtakes his shirt. She keeps their gazes locked and watches it all: the tightening of the lids, the dilation of the pupils. The body is responding to pain. Her blood swirls idly between them, a viscous shimmer contained within crystal walls. His flesh sizzles in protest. And so they stand, frozen, a tableau locked in red. Beautiful, grotesque.

With a flick of her wrist, the moment shatters. The Councilor sags to his knees like a puppet cut from its strings, red fading out into air. Yejin cradles him in her arms, bends as he bends, helping the weight of him down onto the ground.

He is barely conscious when she rises, still hovering over his form. "Please.” Yejin tilts her head at him. “Is that your last word?”

Nothing but a gurgle of the throat, expelled from rapidly cooling lips.

“I cannot tell your family.” She frowns, regret softly spoken. A stone dropped into water. “But I promise to remember.“

Remember it. Remember you. The part of me left in you. A double helix, swirling.

ABILITIES

BLOOD MANIPULATION

Constructs - Yejin can form solid haemokinetic constructs capable of interacting with the environment, in ways such as stabbing, coiling around a target, etc.

Since her abilities are primarily used for offense, she often forms her blood into a shard or spear-like shape. This can range from a single shard, multiple shards in a group, a whip, or tendrils that extend out across a certain distance.

Can also form a rudimentary shield to block projectiles, though it is the weakest of her constructs due to lack of practice.

She has not explored other applications, though technically any form is possible.

Her blood itself has corrosive properties that burn through most organic materials, namely flesh and bone.

Yejin’s manipulation is limited to her own blood pool; she can neither control others’ blood nor can she create new blood.

The solidity/effectiveness/range of her constructs is dependent on her skill, focus, and energy.

She must draw blood before using her abilities. This can be as simple as a prick of the finger. The constructs are not reflective of the size of the wound, but they will naturally be stronger the more blood she expels.

Requires a recovery period after drawing a large volume of blood. In this state, she will exhibit symptoms of anemia due to blood loss: fatigue, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, etc.

On that note, she may bleed to death if she draws too much blood at once, or across a short period of time.

Rolex Datejust 116200 vs 1603 — Modern Vs Vintage Review

FULL VIDEO: Rolex Datejust 116200 vs 1603 — Modern Vs Vintage Review

Video transcript below:

Hey guys, I’m Max and you are watching WatchCrunch.

We’ve always been told that the Rolex Datejust is the most iconic dress watch out there and for good reason, this is a watch that’s been around for over 75 years with a history that precedes it. And herein lies my dilemma, a new Datejust costs north of $6,000 and you can get the same 36 millimeter size in a vintage Datejust for around half that price. So given how indecisive I am, I managed to get my hands on two classic silver dial Datejusts five decades apart. And in this video we’re going to take a close look at both of these watches and hopefully by the end you’ll help me make a decision as to which one I should keep.

Here are the two watches side-by-side, both classic silver dials paired with their Jubilee bracelets. Notice that their dimensions are almost identical with the only difference being that the modern rendition has grown a couple millimeters in thickness. Let us start with the reference 116200. This 2019 model has broad shoulders and fully polished lugs. It utilizes Rolex’s proprietary 904L steel, is said to be more corrosion resistant. It also features a screw-down crown and a hundred meters of water resistance.

The bracelet is pure jewelry, small rounded links contrast between brushed and polished surfaces and mold to your wrist. And when the hidden clasp is this magic you almost stop caring that it lacks micro adjustments. Each word is crisply printed on the dial, referencing this watches important place in horological history. “Oyster” referring to the first waterproof case, “Perpetual” recognizing one of the first self winding movements and “Datejust” the first watch to feature an automatically changing date. This particular reference has the Roman numeral minute track adding visual interest to the edge of the dial, an area that is frequently an afterthought.

Under the hood we get the evolved Rolex Caliber 3135 which is a robust 31 jewel movement featuring a 50 hour power reserve. On the wrist the watch oozes the quality expected of a modern luxury timepiece. You feel the five decades of improved machining, tolerances are tight and details are fine down to a microscopic level. Dressed down on a leather strap the watch becomes a lot less assuming, and won’t draw too much attention, that is until you get close and become mesmerized by that deep sunburst pattern on the dial. The case is designed in a way that it hides the 15 millimeter thickness and by choosing a newer Datejust one is rewarded with modern features such as solid end links, a sapphire crystal, anti magnetic movement, and much better fit and finish. Additionally, the lume is rather serviceable for a dress watch.

But why is the Datejust such a big deal to begin with? Throughout the decades the Datejust has graced the wrists of many luminaries, endlessly customizable, Martin Luther King famously wore an 18 carat gold version on Jubilee. Winston Churchill was gifted one from Hans Wilsdorf and requested to have his family coat of arms engraved on the back. Celebrities pictured with a Datejust include Harrison Ford with his porcelain dialed variant displaying Roman numerals and Daniel Craig with his not so James Bond like modern Rolex, very much like the model we’re reviewing today.

And last, but certainly not least, we’re going to spend a moment talking about a contemporary that I respect greatly. Anthony Bourdain seems to never go anywhere without a watch on his wrist and is often pictured wearing his blue dialed Oyster Perpetual Date, which is essentially a 34 millimeter Datejust. Ostensively a food show, Bourdain’s travels dug deeper to unearth the culture, politics, art, and humanity in the places that he visited. What was different about Anthony, who friends called Tony, was his uncanny ability to cut through the superficial and get under the surface, his gritty and unfiltered style, as well as his often poetic commentary was refreshingly genuine. He was very honest about being imperfect himself and often shared with the audience his past indiscretions and elicit habits embodied on his weathered and tattooed skin. Always somewhat of a troubled man, Anthony Bourdain died by suicide in 2018. So we spend a moment thanking him for teaching us the right way to travel.

Let us turn our attention now to the vintage Datejust this unpolished reference 1603 hails from 1970 and features and engine turn bezel. Obviously having been worn, it’s condition after 50 years of use is a testament to Rolex build quality. The vintage Jubilee bracelet has the stretch associated with its age and together with the friction fitted flip-lock clasp is what my friend [TGV 00:06:08] would call jiggly, jangly. Time has been kind to the silver dial, curing it to a charming golden champagne tone over half of a century. On strap, the watch wears thin, but the longer lugs prevent it from feeling diminutive.

My favorite feature of the 1603 is the [inaudible 00:06:34] stepped down design giving the otherwise flat surface another dimension. The unlumed stick hour markers are beveled down the center to capture light. Though you can tell that the second hand here beats at a much slower frequency than it’s four Hertz counterpart. That is because the 26 jewel caliber 1570 beats just shy of 20,000 BPH and does not feature a quick set date function. On the wrist the vintage Datejust lacks the heft of a modern Rolex. Rather it’s delicate nature reminds me that the watch has been on this earth longer than myself and I am made keenly aware that it has lived a whole life prior to making it to my possession and interacting with it demands a certain level of respect and mechanical empathy. You should choose the vintage Datejust if you view dings and scratches as character building and like the idea of wearing something in boon with life.

So after it’s all said and done which Datejust do I like better? I honestly don’t have the answer to that right now. It’s one of those situations where whichever one I decide to wear for the day, I say, “Yeah, this is the one that I’m keeping.” These two watches share so much similarities in terms of their resemblance to each other and their size. But at the same time on the wrist, they feel like completely different watches. Anyway, which one do you think I should keep? Let me know in the comments below. So thank you for watching WatchCrunch, until next time, take care.
