shim
Metals; Metallurgy
A thin flat hard metal strip produced to close tolerances; used primarily for tool, die and machine alignment purposes. In steel there are four general types: (1) Low Carbon ...
sheet
Metals; Metallurgy
A flat-rolled metal product of some maximum thickness and minimum width arbitrarily dependent on the type of metal. Sheet is thinner than plate.
shear bands
Metals; Metallurgy
Bands in which deformation has been concentrated inhomogeneously in sheets that extend across regional groups of grains. Usually only one system is present in each regional group ...
shear strength
Metals; Metallurgy
The stress required to produce fracture in the plane of cross section, the conditions of loading being such that the directions of force and of resistance are parallel and ...
shear steel
Metals; Metallurgy
Steel produced by forge welding together several bars of blister steel, providing a more homogeneous product.
shear
Metals; Metallurgy
That type of force that causes or tends to cause two contiguous parts of the same body to slide relative to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact.
