magnetic-particle inspection
Metals; Metallurgy
A nondestructive method of inspection for determining the existence and extent of possible defects in ferromagnetic materials. Finely divided magnetic particles, applied to the ...
magnetite
Metals; Metallurgy
The oxide or iron of intermediate valence which has a composition close to the stoichiometric composition Fe3O4.
malleability
Metals; Metallurgy
The property that determines the ease of deforming a metal when the metal is subjected to rolling or hammering. The more malleable metals can be hammered or rolled into thin sheet ...
malleabilizing
