metallurgist
Metals; Metallurgy
A scientist whose work relates to the study of the properties of metals and ores.
brittle fracture
Materials science; Metallurgy
Fracture that occurs by rapid crack propagation and without appreciable macroscopic deformation.
hardenability
Materials science; Metallurgy
A measure of the depth to which a specific ferrous alloy may be hardened by the formation of martensite upon quenching from a temperature above the upper critical temperature.
hardness
Materials science; Metallurgy
The measure of a material's resistance to deformation by surface indentation or by abrasion.
fatigue
Materials science; Metallurgy
Failure, at relatively low stress levels, of structures that are subjected to fluctuating and cyclic stresses.
hot working
Materials science; Metallurgy
Any metal-forming operation that is performed above a metal's recrystallization temperature.
