Hooke's Law
Metals; Metallurgy
Stress is proportional to strain in the elastic range. The value of the stress at which a material ceases to obey Hooke's law is known as the elastic limit.
honing
Metals; Metallurgy
Removing stock generally on the internal cylindrical surface of a work piece with an abrasive stick mounted in a holder.
homogenizing annealing
Metals; Metallurgy
An annealing treatment carried out at a high temperature, approaching the solidus temperature, for a sufficiently long time that inhomogeneous distributions of alloying elements ...
full finish plate
Metals; Metallurgy
Steel sheet or strip, reduced either hot or cold, cleaned, annealed, and then cold-rolled to a bright finish.
fretting corrosion
Metals; Metallurgy
Action that results in surface damage, especially in a corrosive environment, when there is relative motion between solid surfaces in contact under pressure.
