fatigue limit

Metals; Metallurgy

The maximum stress below which a materiel can presumable endure an infinite number of stress cycles. If the stress is not completely reversed, the value of the mean stress, the ...

ferrous

Metals; Metallurgy

Related to iron (derived from the Latin ferrum). Ferrous alloys are, therefore, iron base alloys.

ferrite-pearlite banding

Metals; Metallurgy

Inhomogeneous distribution of ferrite and pearlite aligned in filaments or plates parallel to the direction of working.

ferrite banding

Metals; Metallurgy

Parallel bands of free ferrite aligned in the direction of working. Sometimes referred to a ferrite streaks.

ferrite

Metals; Metallurgy

A solid solution of one or more elements in body-centered cubic iron. Unless otherwise designated (for instance, as chromium ferrite), the solute is generally assumed to be ...

fatigue strength

Metals; Metallurgy

The maximum stress that can be sustained for a specified number of cycles without failure, the stress being completely reversed within each cycle unless otherwise stated.
