Metallurgy
refining temperature
Metals; Metallurgy
A temperature, usually just higher than the transformation range, employed in the heat treatment of steel to refine the structure -- in particular, the grain size.
recrystallization temperature
Metals; Metallurgy
The approximate minimum temperature at which complete re-crystallization of a cold worked metal occurs within a specified time.
recystallization annealing
Metals; Metallurgy
Annealing cold worked metal to produce a new grain structure without a phase change.
recrystallization
Metals; Metallurgy
A process whereby a distorted grain structure of cold worked metals is replaced by a new, stress-free grain structure as a result of annealing above a specific minimum temperature for a specific ...
recovery
Metals; Metallurgy
Reduction or removal of work-hardening effects, without motion of large-angle grain boundaries.
recarburizing
Metals; Metallurgy
(1) Increasing the carbon content of molten cast iron or steel by adding carbonaceous material, high-carbon pig iron or a high-carbon alloy. (2) Carburizing a metal part to return surface carbon lost ...
reciprocal lattice
Metals; Metallurgy
A group of points arranged about a center in such a way that the line joining each point of the center is perpendicular to a family of planes in the crystal, and the length of this line is inversely ...
