clad metal
Metals; Metallurgy
A composite metal containing two or three layers that have been bonded together. The bonding may have been accomplished by co-rolling, welding, heavy chemical deposition or heavy ...
chromium-nickel steel
Metals; Metallurgy
Steel usually made by the electric furnace process in which chromium and nickel participate as alloying elements. The stainless steel of 18% chromium and 8% nickel are the better ...
chromium
Metals; Metallurgy
Chemical symbol Cr. Element No. 24 of the periodic system; atomic weight 52. 01. It is of bright silvery color, relatively hard. It is strongly resistant to atmospheric and other ...
chromadizing
Metals; Metallurgy
Forming an acid surface to improve paint adhesion on aluminum or aluminum alloys, mainly aircraft skins, by treatment with a solution of chromic acid.
