bright annealed wire

Metals; Metallurgy

Steel wire bright drawn and annealed in controlled non-oxidizing atmosphere so that surface oxidation is reduced to a minimum and the surface remains relatively bright.

Joining metals by fusion of nonferrous alloys that have melting points above 800 F (425C), but lower than those of the metals being joined. May be accomplished by a torch. Filler metal is ordinarily ...

braze welding

Metals; Metallurgy

A family of welding procedures where metals are joined by filler metal that has a melting temperature below the solidus of the parent metal, but above 840 (450 C).

bottle top mold

Metals; Metallurgy

Ingot mold, with the top constricted; used in the manufacture of capped steel, the metal in the constriction being covered with a cap fitting into the bottle-neck, which stops rimming action by ...

boron

Metals; Metallurgy

Element N. 5 of the periodic system. Atomic weight 10. 82. It is gray in color, ignites at about 1112 (degrees) F. And burns with a brilliant green flame, but its melting point in a non-oxidizing ...

box annealing

Metals; Metallurgy

Annealing a metal or alloy in a sealed container under conditions that minimize oxidation. In box annealing a ferrous alloy, the charge is usually heated slowly to a temperature below the ...
