Metallurgy

fatigue limit

Metals; Metallurgy

The maximum stress below which a materiel can presumable endure an infinite number of stress cycles. If the stress is not completely reversed, the value of the mean stress, the minimum stress or the ...

ferrous

Metals; Metallurgy

Related to iron (derived from the Latin ferrum). Ferrous alloys are, therefore, iron base alloys.

ferrite-pearlite banding

Metals; Metallurgy

Inhomogeneous distribution of ferrite and pearlite aligned in filaments or plates parallel to the direction of working.

ferrite banding

Metals; Metallurgy

Parallel bands of free ferrite aligned in the direction of working. Sometimes referred to a ferrite streaks.

ferrite

Metals; Metallurgy

A solid solution of one or more elements in body-centered cubic iron. Unless otherwise designated (for instance, as chromium ferrite), the solute is generally assumed to be carbon. On some ...

fatigue strength

Metals; Metallurgy

The maximum stress that can be sustained for a specified number of cycles without failure, the stress being completely reversed within each cycle unless otherwise stated.

fatigue life

Metals; Metallurgy

The number of cycles of stress that can be sustained prior to failure for a stated test condition.
