Brilio.net - Ordinary nails and steel nails are two types of nails that are often used in building construction. These two types of nails have significant differences in terms of materials, strength, and applications. Ordinary nails are generally made of iron or low-carbon steel which are easy to obtain and inexpensive. This type of nail is often used for light work such as installing wood or other materials that do not require high strength.
On the other hand, steel nails are usually made of high carbon steel or alloy steel which is stronger and more resistant to pressure. This type of nail is more expensive, but provides advantages in terms of durability and strength, making it suitable for construction that requires high durability, such as metal structure construction or concrete work. Another advantage is that steel nails are more resistant to corrosion than regular nails, making them ideal for outdoor use or in humid environments.
Judging from the material, steel nails are certainly stronger than ordinary nails. Therefore, steel nails tend not to bend easily when used. Unlike ordinary nails which usually have a smaller size and are easily bent.

However, before adding salt, the nail must be heated first. While it is being heated, prepare salt and water in a glass. Stir until the salt dissolves in the water perfectly.
If the nail is hot and red, immediately take it using the help of pliers. Then dip the nail into the salt water. Immediately dip the nail while it is still hot, okay. Soak it for a while until the nail starts to cool.
