Body-centered.

sorbitic pearlite

Metals; Metallurgy

Structure of steel resulting, on cooling under the proper conditions, from the decomposition of austenite; has a fine, lamellar appearance.

sorbite

Metals; Metallurgy

Structure of steel, resulting from the tempering of martensite. In a truly sorbitic structure, the cementite is completely dispersed in the matrix. The trend is to call this structure tempered ...

solvus

Metals; Metallurgy

In a phase or equilibrium diagram, the locus of points representing the temperature at which solid phases with various compositions coexist with other solid phases; that is, the limits of solid ...

solvent

Metals; Metallurgy

The component of either a liquid or solid solution that is present to the greater or major extent; the component that dissolves the solute.

solution heat treatment

Metals; Metallurgy

A heat treatment in which an alloy is heated to a suitable temperature, held at that temperature long enough to cause one or more constituents to enter into solid solution, and then cooled rapidly ...
