Metals; Metallurgy
Composite sheet produced by bonding either corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or aluminum of high purity to base metal of structurally stronger aluminum alloy. The coatings are ...
air cooling
Metals; Metallurgy
Cooling of the heated metal, intermediate in rapidity between slow furnace cooling and quenching, in which the metal is permitted to stand in the open air.
air-hardening steel
Metals; Metallurgy
A steel containing sufficient carbon and other alloying elements to harden fully during cooling in air or other gaseous mediums from a temperature above its transformation range. ...
aging
Metals; Metallurgy
A change in properties that occurs at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures after hot working or a heat treating operation (quench aging in ferrous alloys), or after a cold ...
age hardening
Metals; Metallurgy
Hardening by aging, usually after rapid cooling or cold working. The term as applied to soft, or low carbon steels, relates to a wide variety of commercially important, slow, ...
activation
Metals; Metallurgy
The changing of the passive surface of a metal to a chemically active state. Contrast with passivation.
acid-process
Metals; Metallurgy
A process of making steel, either Bessemer, open-hearth or electric, in which the furnace is lined with a siliceous refractory and for which low phosphorus pig iron is required as ...
