Warnings: smut, asphyxiation, blood, slapping

Kinktober List || Masterlist || AO3

There's just something about those gloves.

Maybe it was the fact that they have been used for questionable things, and the thought of you adding to that, makes your pussy throb. Frank could easily use disposable gloves instead, but he just loved the way you looked on the receiving end of the leather.

Or the smell of him lingering in the creases of the material. Musky, sweat with a hint of his aftershave. Metallic like iron, from the smell of someone's blood, with leftover notes of gunpowder. Used and dirty, you love it that he doesn't clean them before touching you, both of you desperate for them to be inside your cunt.

Perhaps it's the way Frank loves seeing you go wild for them. You moan as you take his digits into your mouth, tasting the bitterness of whatever is on them. All while slick starts seeping out of you, wetting the inside of your thighs. Frank knew he could get you to do anything he asked right now, as your tongue recognises each groove of his leather clad hands. You do all this before giving him the sloppiest, most enthusiastic, blowjob for years.

It could be the feeling of the gloves tracing down your body, the natural creases somewhat rough on your nipples. He pinches it, making you ache, on the cusp of pleasure and pain. Closing your eyes, you let him touch you however he pleases.

He does all this before drifting his hand south, down your body. Rubbing against your clit, coating the glove in your juices. Before his fingers insert into you, cold at first, stretching you out wonderfully. Dry leather rubbing against your walls, pulsing around him.

His fingers are massive normally on their own, overwhelmingly so with the gloves. Tears starting to form in the corners of your eyes as he works his fingers slowly into you, curling inside to make room for his cock. The leather memorising you, moulding to each curve.

It's also the way your slick coats the gloves, your scent embedded into them, carrying over into his next job. You grinding down on his fingers until you cum, giving them a whitish gleam, before Frank licks it off in front of you. You practically begged him to bend you over and fuck you into next week after that... Which he did.

Then there's the leather creaking ever so gently as he grips your neck tight, while roughly fucking into your pussy. His eyes full of danger in the most delicious way, primal instincts surfacing seeing you writhe underneath him. It's hard to tell if you or Frank likes the way he controls your breathing the most. Your body shivers as his eyes darken, but not with fear... with anticipation.

Or, while he's spearing into you, his other gloved hand slapping across your ass loudly. The leather rippling across your skin as you gasp and clench around him. You would feel this for days afterwards while he's busy on his next mission.

Tsatsa are small plaques with decoration in relief, made in moulds with clay or rammed earth, but sometimes other materials such as metal may be used.

They can be made for several reasons, including:

1. Removing obstacles

2. Increasing lifespan

3. Generally to benefit beings through interdependence

4. To place as zung (precious filling) inside a larger stupa

5. Act as a support for practice on a shrine

6. In a specific ceremony with the ashes of the deceased to benefit them

Once you have the clay or other appropriate material, it is often mixed with medicinal herbs or dutzi (optional). Then, some printed or written dharanis and mantras are rolled in a specific way, painted and inserted into the clay before it hardens. Then the tsatsa itself is painted and consecrated.

Proper instructions on how to do all of this are significant and ideally, an in-person transmission is obtained.

ROMAN BOILER FOUND INTACT, WITH ALL ITS PIPES, VALVES AND FITTINGS.

CALDERA ROMANA ENCONTRADA INTACTA, CON TODAS SUS TUBAS, VÁLVULAS Y ACCESORIOS.

(English / Español)

An extraordinary find, unique in the world, discovered in the excavations of the Villa Della Pisanella in the Roman countryside of Boscoreale (Naples), is one of the many productive settlements that, in Roman times, were scattered in the northern suburbs of Pompeii.

The first evidence of the Villa Della Pisanella dates back to November 1868; during the excavations, some mosaics were found, but the excavations had to be stopped because the owner of the neighbouring land pointed out the danger of damage to his land.

It was only in September 1894 that excavations were resumed and continued until June 1895. There was another interruption, which lasted about a year, before excavations were resumed in May 1896. The Roman baths and cauldron were brought to light, found intact, with all their pipes.

The boiler was equipped with real taps to regulate the water flow. The valves were of the male type: the upper cylinder was inserted into the valve body and, when pierced, closed and opened the water flow with a 90-degree rotation.

The production of such mechanisms by the Collegia Fabrorum had to comply with precisely established standards, similar to those defined today by the EU, which we know from the work of Frontinus: De aquae ductu urbis Romae.

The boiler and pipes were made of lead but the valves were made of bronze and cast in a single block using moulds.

The connection to the lead pipes was made by soldering. Instead of a blowtorch, small flat-tipped rods (a type of screwdriver) were used, the tips of which had been heated to red hot by the use of portable forges. In addition, a solder wire with a 70% lead alloy was used.

For the flux (the product that promotes the distribution of the new metal on the surface to be welded, protecting it from oxidation), pine resin was probably used.

As for the current location of the boiler, thanks to information provided by Nobile Di Castroreale, it is known that it is preserved in the technological section of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN).

Un hallazgo extraordinario, único en el mundo, encontrado en las excavaciones de la Villa Della Pisanella situada en la campiña romana de Boscoreale (Nápoles), constituye uno de los muchos asentamientos productivos que, en tiempos romanos, estaban dispersos en los suburbios del norte de Pompeya.

Los primeros testimonios de la Villa Della Pisanella datan de noviembre de 1868; durante las excavaciones, se encontraron algunos mosaicos però tuvieron que parar las excavaciones porque el propietario de la tierra vecina destacó el peligro de daños a su tierra.

Sólo en septiembre de 1894 se reanudaron las excavaciones, que continuaron hasta junio de 1895. Hubo otra interrupción, que duró alrededor de un año, antes de que las excavaciones se reanudaran en mayo de 1896. Así los baños romanos y la caldera salieron a la luz, encontrados intactos, con todas sus tuberías.

La caldera estaba equipada con grifos reales para regular el flujo de agua. Las válvulas eran de tipo masculino: el cilindro superior se insertó en el cuerpo de la válvula y, al perforarlo, se cerró y abrió el flujo de agua con una rotación de 90 grados.

La producción de este tipo de mecanismos por parte del Collegia Fabrorum tuvo que cumplir con estándares precisamente establecidos, similares a los definidos hoy por la UE, que conocemos a través de la labor de Frontinus: De aquae ductu urbis Romae.

La caldera y las tuberías estaban hechas de plomo pero las válvulas estaban hechas de bronce y fundidas en un solo bloque utilizando moldes.

La conexión a las tuberías de plomo se hizo con soldadura. En lugar del soplete, se utilizaron pequeñas varillas de punta plana (un tipo de destornillador) cuyas puntas se habían calentado al rojo caliente gracias al uso de forjas portátiles. Además, se utilizó un alambre de soldadura con una aleación de plomo del 70%.

Para el flujo (el producto que favorece la distribución del nuevo metal en la superficie a soldarse, protegiéndolo de la oxidación) probablemente se usó resina de pino.

En cuanto a la ubicación actual de la caldera, gracias a la información proporcionada por Nobile Di Castroreale, se sabe que se conserva en el tramo tecnológico del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Nápoles (MANN).

The Commonly Used Metal 3D Printing Materials

Metal 3D printing uses a variety of metal powders, wires, and even liquid resins infused with metal. Almost any metal can be 3D printed, from stainless steel to nickel-based alloys, and in practice, about 8 are most commonly used. The most common question about metal 3D printing is: Will the final part have the same mechanical properties as a machined, moulded or forged metal part? The answer is yes, and sometimes even better mechanical quality, but it depends a lot on the metal 3D printing technology you use, the type of feedstock used, post-processing and the shape of the part. In addition, the comparison depends on the aspects you are concerned about: for example, tensile strength, static load strength, high cycle fatigue, and so on.

In general, the material properties of metal parts made by metal bond jetting are equivalent to those of metal parts produced by metal injection moulding, and it is one of the most widely used manufacturing methods for the mass production of metal parts. These 8 metal alloys below are just the beginning of what is possible today as metal material producers continue to push the boundaries and customize metal alloys for specific needs using specific metal 3D printing technologies.

1.Stainless Steel Feature: All-round Stainless steel is not the material most commonly used in 3D printing, but many alloy varieties. The first two are 316L and 17-4 PH, but also 304L, 15-5 PH, 420, 254, PH1, GP1, 630, and 410 can be printed, as well as custom blends produced by material manufacturer. These steels are specifically designed to resist corrosion. They are a lightweight and affordable metal that is ideal for 3D printing. This is because it is faster and cheaper than traditional methods and can print small batches and complex parts. 3D printing is the preferred option for companies that need a single tool or several replacement parts. Stainless steel can be used in almost any type of 3D printing, from economical wire for extruded 3D printing on benchtop machines to powder for binder jetting and laser powder bed fusion, and even resin.

2.Tool Steel Feature: High hardness, good wear resistance Tool steels, like stainless steels, come in different varieties with different tensile strengths, ductility, hardness and other properties. Tool steels are a variety of alloy steels designed specifically for the manufacture of tools. They are known for their hardness, wear resistance and ability to hold a cutting edge at high temperatures. This 3D printing steel is commonly used in the manufacture of injection mould inserts, aerospace components, military applications, manufacturing tools, as well as construction and architecture. The main advantage of 3D printed tool steel is not only its strength, but also its unique ability to create parts with internal channels (e.g. cooling channels in moulding tools) and lattice fillings that cannot be manufactured by traditional methods.

3.Low-Alloy Steel All 3D printing steels are alloys, but this category includes steels with low or less than 5 per cent of other elements. These low alloy steels are designed to have higher mechanical properties and greater resistance to wear and corrosion than other steels which are commonly used in automotive, aerospace and structural applications.

4.Aluminum Feature: Lightweight and corrosion resistant For aerospace, automotive and industry, the design freedom and cost efficiency of 3D printing further enhances the lightweight and chemical resistance of aluminum components. The use of aluminum and aluminum alloys in 3D printing is surging because the metal is economical and easy to 3D print. Like most metals, aluminum can be used as wire or powder for a variety of 3D printing techniques. Aluminium has good chemical resistance, is very light and has one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any metal. Combined with silicon and magnesium, it is the choice of many in the aerospace and automotive industries because of its ability to withstand harsh conditions.

5.Titanium Feature: Lightweight and biocompatible As strong as steel but half the weight, titanium is a complex metal that is practically made for 3D printing. Titanium has become one of the most commonly used metals in additive manufacturing, with a wide range of applications in aerospace, joint replacement and surgical tools, racing car and bicycle frames, electronics and other high-performance products. Titanium and titanium-based alloys offer high mechanical strength, high strength-to-weight ratios and better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. It makes rockets and aircraft lighter, thus saving fuel and increasing payload capacity. In the medical industry, 3D printed titanium implants have been successfully used in the spine, hips, knees and extremities due to the inherent biocompatibility and good mechanical properties of the metal, coupled with the ability to customize porous structures with 3D printing, allowing for osseointegration and mass customization for better patient outcomes.

6.Copper Feature: Electrical and thermal conductivity 3D printing using pure copper and space-age copper alloys is available with a range of metal 3D printers and services. You can create rapid copper prototypes using copper filament on an FDM 3D printer and large copper rocket boosters using copper alloys on a laser powder bed fusion 3D printer. There is also copper wire and copper resin for micro 3D printing. In fact, copper plays a huge role in the global sustainable development goals as a key component of electric motors, charging infrastructure, solar energy and batteries.

7.Nickel Alloy Feature: Extreme environments resistant Nickel-based alloys and "high-temperature alloys" are known for their excellent high-temperature strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance. These alloys retain their strength and mechanical properties at high temperatures. They are commonly used in demanding applications such as aerospace, gas turbines, chemical processing and marine environments. In recent years, these alloys have also become increasingly popular in 3D printing, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries. When referring to nickel alloys, you may hear the term inconel. Inconel is the trade name for a range of nickel-chromium-based high-temperature alloys, including IN625, IN718 and IN939. Nickel alloys are generally more expensive than other materials such as steel and aluminium and may not be suitable for low temperature applications.

8.Cobalt Chrome Feature: High temperature and corrosion resistance 3D printed cobalt chrome has a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a good material choice for aerospace components and industrial machinery. It is also biocompatible and is often used in orthopaedic implants, dental prosthetics and medical devices that require long-term contact with biological tissue. Cobalt-chromium alloys can be processed using additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM). This allows complex geometries and customized parts to be produced with minimal material waste, making it attractive to industries adopting advanced manufacturing techniques.

To sum up, metal 3D printing uses a wide range of metal powders and wires, including stainless steel, tool steel, etc. to print complex parts with superior mechanical properties. Commonly used metals in 3D printing include aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel alloys, tool steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel for aerospace, medical and jewellery applications and more.

Mantle, late 1880s Silk, embroidered with glass beads, metallic cord and silk-covered wooden moulds Label ‘S.S. Bacon, 52 Bold Street Liverpool’ An example of outerwear at, possibly, its most ornate, this short mantle was designed more for the sake of appearance than for warmth. Short and loose at the front, it is fitted over the shoulders and into the small of the back with a pleated section to fit over the bustle. The light brown grosgrain silk is richly ornamented with couched cord and beading in small all over motifs and denser borders and areas of symmetrical curvilinear designs on the collar, upper arms, both sides of the front and the centre back. Similar designs of surface decoration were prevalent on both dresses and outerwear in the late 1880s as the focus of attention began to move away from the ornately draped and swagged skirts of the preceding years. The hem is bordered with a deep bead fringe and silk-covered wooden pendants each comprising a small ball trimmed with cord over a bead-studded tear drop. Unsurprisingly, this quantity of trimming makes the mantle very heavy. It is lined in scarlet silk twill with a panel each side of the front opening, through which the arms could be inserted, a matching ribbon waist tie, and a loop at the back of the neckline so that it could be hung up.

@stalwartembers liked for a forged weapon!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The deity brushes her hair and pull it back before twisting the hair tie around the locks into a high ponytail. She later changes into imperial purple samue and tired the sleeves with thick rope ready to start the nostalgic practice once more. Ei filled a small wooden bucket with water and then splash the anvil clean and get the needed ore to start.

She starts up the furnace and started to produce the steel with charcoal and iron sand until fully heated and melted. This process helps remove the original impurities of two materials — the remaining material, a carbon with a lower steel percentage, is used anyway as a metal reserve for the smoother parts of the blade.

The Tamahagane or known as steel jewel is fragmented into little cubes that, according to their color, are divided depending on their carbon content. Then the cubes are wormed up and hammered until they become thin sheets. The best sheets are selected to create the blade’s external covering, the Kawagane or leather-steel and the Hagane or blade-steel. These sheets are put one on top of the other, heated up and melted together by percussions.

This procedure was repeated many times to flatten and straighten the steel block which, thanks to this specific process, also starts to lose several impurities. It causes many sparks to bounce off the archon’s hammer with each hit. At this point the plank is ready to be forged; it is heated up once more and at its midpoint the archon carries out an incision that is used to fold the steel plank up. Once this is all done, the whole is warmed up and beaten again many times until the two layers, flattened till they regain their original dimensions, are completely melted together.

At this point the plank is cut in 3 pieces, but to create a samurai sword 4 pieces are necessary therefore one of the pieces has to be recycled from another block. The 4 steel planks are put one on top of the other, heated up and melted together by percussions. The whole is folded again and welded for at least 6 times but the material, when is heated up, looses its carbon step by step. Indeed the carbon burns in contact with the oxygen so, advancing the technique.

At this point Ei begins with the construction of the Shingane or heart steel , starting from a low carbon steel that is moulded, folded up and hit for about 10 times in order to further reduce the carbon quantity and expel the impurities. Now it’s time to bring everything back together, the Kawagane is bent as a U and the plank of Shingane is inserted in its inner part.

The whole is heated up and hit once more until the two layers are completely melted together. This phase is particularly critical, since the welding has to be very well done and the beating must not displace the two components (the kawagane outside and the shingane inside). The result of this complicated procedure is a blade with an extremely hard covering that can also be easily sharpened, and a very flexible heart that can easily absorb the shocks without breaking.

Ei wets the anvil to properly sharpen the new blade then polished it fully. She rubs her forehead with her arm smudging it greatly with soot and dirt before she goes down to her knees the clasp her hands together for a quick prayer. Soon after the finished katana was ready! It was a cool black steel sword with a deep viridian edge to match the look at it soon to be the wielder even with the tsuka being bone white.

“ Now when you spar against me, you won't need to use your true blade, Man. ”

What is a Pulp Moulding Machine and How Does it Work?

With the help of a pulp moulding machine, various products are made by moulding the mixture of pulp fibres. The pulp thus used comes from a wide variety of sources namely, recycled paper, cardboard, agricultural waste, or from other fibrous material sources. Various items like egg cartons, fruit trays, packaging inserts, etc are made this way.

Here we will go into a little detail about what a pulp moulding machine is and elaborate on how it functions. So, let’s begin by trying to understand what a pulp moulding machine is.

What is a Pulp Moulding Machine?

A pulp moulding machine is a specialised machine that is used to transform paper pulp into various shapes and sizes and is most commonly used to make egg cartons, fruit trays and other bio-friendly products.

Now, let’s find out how the pulp moulding machine works.

How a Pulp Moulding Machine Functions?

The functioning of a pulp moulding machine has been explained below. Here are the steps:

1. Preparation of the Pulp

The preparation of the pulp mixture is the first step. The mixture is prepared by mixing the pulp fibres with water. The fibres are evenly distributed in the mixture by agitating the mixture from time to time.

2. Moulding Process

Step 1: Setting Up The Mould and The Dye

The customised moulds in the pulp moulding machine are typically made of metal and other durable materials, and the dye is set in the machine. The moulds used here are shaped following the shape of the product that has been ordered.

Step 2: Filling the Pulp

The pulp mixture is then poured or injected into these customised moulds. The moulds are designed in such a way that they can absorb the excess water and moisture from the mixture to reach the desired shape.

Step 3: Moulding and Compression

After draining and pressing out the excess liquid, the moulds are then closed. The compression process aids in pulp formation and making the shape according to the mould.

3. Drying

Air Drying

After moulding is completed, the pulp products are dried by applying various methods, the commonest being the air-drying technique.

4. Finishing

After drying the products sufficiently, they are passed through additional quality control processes like trimming or cutting off excess material.

5. Packaging and Shipping

The finished moulded pulp products are then packaged and prepared for shipment.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Aluminium Posts And Beams

If you're in the market for industrial metal, aluminium is a great choice. It is strong and light in weight and is ideal for construction and other applications. Posts and beams both are popular choices for both residential and commercial projects. 

They have a variety of benefits. These make them ideal for many different applications. This blog will explore some of the key benefits of using aluminium posts and beams. This article will also provide some tips on how to select the right product for your project.

How is it made?

Die casting is used to make these posts and beams. Die casting is a process where molten aluminium is injected into a mould at high pressure. The aluminium cools and solidifies inside the mould, taking on the shape of the mould.

Die casting is a quick and efficient way to produce aluminium posts and beams. It is also a very versatile process, as it can be used to create products of various shapes and sizes.

Advantages:

There are many advantages to using them for your construction project. Aluminum is a powerful and long-lasting metal that will not rust or rot. It's lightweight, which makes it easy to transport and install.

Aluminum is also a very good conductor of heat and electricity. This is why it is ideal for use in electrical applications.

Disadvantages:

There are a few disadvantages to using aluminium posts and beams in construction.

Aluminum is not as strong as steel, so it is not suitable for supporting large loads

Aluminium is more expensive than other materials, such as wood or concrete

Aluminium is susceptible to corrosion. It may damage by salt water or chemicals.

Applications:

Posts and beams of aluminium are used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures. You can use them in the manufacture of products such as cars, bicycles, and planes.

Aluminum is a strong yet lightweight metal that is resistant to corrosion. This makes the material ideal for use in construction and manufacturing. Aluminium posts and beams are often used with other materials like concrete or steel.

How to install:

Assuming you have all the necessary tools, installing aluminium posts and beams is an easy process. First, determine where you want the posts and beams to be placed. Once you have determined the placement, mark the area with tape or chalk, so you know where to drill.

Next, using a power drill, create holes for the posts. The size of the hole is related to the size of the post. Once all the holes have been drilled, insert the posts into the holes. If you are using beams, place them on top of the posts and secure them in place with brackets. At last, caulk around the joints to prevent moisture from getting in and causing damage.

For a variety of construction projects, aluminium posts and beams are an excellent choice. They are lightweight yet strong and durable, making them easy to work with. Plus, they are resistant to rust and corrosion, so you can be sure your project will last for years to come. If you're looking for high-quality, low-maintenance building material, aluminium is the way to go.

Insert Moulding vs Overmoulding: When To Use?

When it comes to manufacturing plastic parts with added functionalities, insert molding and overmolding are two popular techniques. Both processes offer unique advantages and are suitable for different applications. In this article, we'll explore the differences between insert molding and overmolding, their respective benefits, and when to use each method.

Gain an in-depth understanding of insert moulding and overmoulding.

What is insert moulding?

Insert molding is a process where metal or plastic inserts are placed into the mold cavity before plastic injection. The molten plastic material then surrounds the inserts, creating a single integrated part. This method is commonly used when a part requires added strength, precise positioning of inserts, or when different materials need to be combined.

What is overmoulding?

Overmolding is a process where a substrate, typically made of metal or plastic, is molded over with a second material, often a softer or more flexible material. This creates a single, multi-material part with improved functionality and aesthetics. Overmolding is commonly used to enhance grip, provide cushioning, or incorporate multiple colors or textures into a part.

Use the checklist below when deciding whether to use insert moulding or overmoulding. Or read the full article to gain an in-depth understanding of when to use insert moulding and overmoulding.

When to use overmoulding:

Consider insert moulding when making products that have the following attributes or applications:

Your finished piece can be made of thermoplastics and/or rubber.

Your goal is to enhance the grip and texture of a component.

Your product needs to be multi-colored

You aim to boost cushioning, shock absorption, or vibration damping properties.

You need to embed soft seals into your part.

When to use insert moulding:

Consider overmoulding when making products that have the following attributes or applications:

Your part includes a metal component.

You need to seamlessly integrate electronic components such as sensors, wires, or circuit boards.

You aim to incorporate other pre-fabricated substrates like magnets.

You wish to avoid the expense associated with a complex two-shot mold.

You must include threaded inserts within your part.
