Contributors in Metallurgy

Metallurgy

Plastic deformation, such as rolling, hammering, drawing, etc. , at a temperature sufficiently low to create strain-hardening (work-hardening). Commonly, the term refers to such deformation at normal ...

cold shut

Metals; Metallurgy

(1) A discontinuity that appears on the surface of cast metal as a result of two streams of liquid meeting and failing to unite. (2) A portion of the surface of a forging that is separated, in part, ...

cold short

Metals; Metallurgy

A condition of brittleness existing in some metals at temperatures below the re-crystalization temperature.

cold rolled finish

Metals; Metallurgy

Finish obtained by cold rolling plain pickled sheet or strip with a lubricant resulting in a relatively smooth appearance.

coke plate

Metals; Metallurgy

Standard tin plate, with the lightest commercial tin coat, used for food containers, oil canning, etc. A higher grade is the best cokes, with special cokes representing the best of the coke tin ...

cold rolling

Metals; Metallurgy

Rolling metal at a temperature below the softening point of the metal to create strain hardening (work-hardening). Same as cold reduction, except that the working method is limited to rolling. Cold ...

coil breaks

Metals; Metallurgy

Creases or ridges across a metal sheet transverse to the direction of coiling, occasionally occurring when the metal has been coiled hot and uncoiled cold.
