stretcher leveling
Metals; Metallurgy
A method of making metal sheet or strip dead flat by stretching.
stretcher straightening
Metals; Metallurgy
A process for straightening rod, tubing, and shapes by the application of tension at the ends of the stock. The products are elongated a definite amount to remove warpage.
stress relieving
Metals; Metallurgy
Heating to a suitable temperature, holding long enough to reduce residual stresses and then cooling slowly enough to minimize the development of new residual stresses.
stress-corrosion cracking
Metals; Metallurgy
Failure by cracking under combined action or corrosion and stress, either external (applied) or internal (residual). Cracking may be either inter-granular or trans-granular, depends on metal and ...
stress
Metals; Metallurgy
Force per unit area. True stress denotes stress determined by measuring force and area at the same time. Conventional stress, as applied to tension and compression tests, is force divided by original ...
stress relief
Metals; Metallurgy
Low temperature annealing for removing internal stresses, such as those resulting on a metal from work hardening or quenching.
strain hardening
Metals; Metallurgy
An increase in hardness and strength caused by plastic deformation at temperatures lower than the re-crystallization range.
