space lattice
Metals; Metallurgy
A system of equivalent points formed by the intersections of three sets of planes parallel to pairs of principal axes; the space lattice may be thought of as formed by the corners ...
sorbitic pearlite
Metals; Metallurgy
Structure of steel resulting, on cooling under the proper conditions, from the decomposition of austenite; has a fine, lamellar appearance.
sorbite
Metals; Metallurgy
Structure of steel, resulting from the tempering of martensite. In a truly sorbitic structure, the cementite is completely dispersed in the matrix. The trend is to call this ...
solvus
Metals; Metallurgy
In a phase or equilibrium diagram, the locus of points representing the temperature at which solid phases with various compositions coexist with other solid phases; that is, the ...
solvent
Metals; Metallurgy
The component of either a liquid or solid solution that is present to the greater or major extent; the component that dissolves the solute.
solution heat treatment
Metals; Metallurgy
A heat treatment in which an alloy is heated to a suitable temperature, held at that temperature long enough to cause one or more constituents to enter into solid solution, and ...
