bright annealing
Metals; Metallurgy
The process of annealing in a protective atmosphere so as to prevent discoloration of the bright surface desired.
bright annealed wire
Metals; Metallurgy
Steel wire bright drawn and annealed in controlled non-oxidizing atmosphere so that surface oxidation is reduced to a minimum and the surface remains relatively bright.
brazing
Metals; Metallurgy
Joining metals by fusion of nonferrous alloys that have melting points above 800 F (425C), but lower than those of the metals being joined. May be accomplished by a torch. Filler ...
braze welding
Metals; Metallurgy
A family of welding procedures where metals are joined by filler metal that has a melting temperature below the solidus of the parent metal, but above 840 (450 C).
bottle top mold
Metals; Metallurgy
Ingot mold, with the top constricted; used in the manufacture of capped steel, the metal in the constriction being covered with a cap fitting into the bottle-neck, which stops ...
boron
Metals; Metallurgy
Element N. 5 of the periodic system. Atomic weight 10. 82. It is gray in color, ignites at about 1112 (degrees) F. And burns with a brilliant green flame, but its melting point in ...
box annealing
Metals; Metallurgy
Annealing a metal or alloy in a sealed container under conditions that minimize oxidation. In box annealing a ferrous alloy, the charge is usually heated slowly to a temperature ...
