nounMetallurgy
segregation within microscopic grains
microstructure
nounMetallurgy

muller
nounMetallurgy
A machine that mixes clay and sand under a roller for use in preparing a mould for metal casting.
niello
nounMetallurgy
Any of various black metal alloys, made of sulphur with copper, silver or lead, used to create decorative designs on other metals.
nitrox
nounMetallurgy
An industrial process for case hardening (imparting greater surface hardness to) metal objects, involving nitrocarburizing (the diffusion of carbon and nitrogen into the metal) followed by oxidation.
normalize
verbMetallurgy
To anneal (steel) for the purpose of decreasing brittleness and increasing ductility.
overpole
verbMetallurgy

Pachuca tank
nounMetallurgy
A high narrow tank with a central cylinder for the introduction of compressed air, used in the agitation and settling of pulp (pulverized ore and water) during treatment by the cyanide process.
Pernot furnace
nounMetallurgy
A reverberatory furnace with a circular revolving hearth, used in making steel.
pig iron
nounMetallurgy
A brittle, impure form of iron produced by smelting iron ore which is often shaped into blocks; it is unsuitable for working but suitable for casting, and so is commonly used as an industrial raw material; (countable) a sample of such iron.
pipe
verbMetallurgy
Of a metal ingot: to become hollow in the process of solidifying.
pistol pipe
A pipe in which the blast of a furnace is heated.
pitting resistance equivalent number
nounMetallurgy
A number, calculated using a given stainless steel alloy's chemical composition, which aims to predict its resistance to pitting corrosion.
pole
verbMetallurgy
To treat (copper) by blowing natural gas or other reducing agent through the molten oxide, burning off the oxygen.
polygonization
nounMetallurgy
The formation of subgrains within the grains of a metal when worked
polygonize
verbMetallurgy
To form subgrains within the grains of a metal when worked.
postuniform
adjectiveMetallurgy
Pertaining to the state where elongation is a function of the strainrate hardening exponent determined near maximum load
puddling
nounMetallurgy
The first true industrial process to produce steel from pig iron.
quench
verbMetallurgy
To cool rapidly by direct contact with liquid coolant, as a blacksmith quenching hot iron.
quenching
nounMetallurgy
The rapid cooling of a hot metal object, by placing it in a liquid, in order to harden it.
raise
verbMetallurgy
To cause to rise; to lift or elevate.
recrystallization
nounMetallurgy
The growth of grain fragments in an alloy, especially when it is worked by cold rolling.
red rot
nounMetallurgy
The chemical dezincification of brass alloys, where the zinc in the brass leaches out and leaves behind fragile or powdery copper metal.
redsear
To break or crack through brittleness when red-hot; to be red-short or hot-short.
reduce
verbMetallurgy
To produce metal from ore by removing nonmetallic elements in a smelter.
reductive
adjectiveMetallurgy
That reduces a substance etc. to a more simple or basic form.
reedy
adjectiveMetallurgy
Imperfectly welded together in masses of rods.
refraction
nounMetallurgy
The degree to which a metal or compound can withstand heat
refractory metal
nounMetallurgy
A metal, such as molybdenum or tungsten, with a high refraction, and hence a high melting point.
regenerative furnace
nounMetallurgy
A furnace having a regenerator in which gas used for fuel, and air for supporting combustion, are heated; a Siemens furnace.
resmelt
verbMetallurgy
To smelt again; to smelt a second time.
reverberate
To heat something by deflecting flames on to, or passing flames over, it.
riveter
nounMetallurgy
A person whose job is to rivet.
salamander
nounMetallurgy
Solidified material in a furnace hearth.
scoria
nounMetallurgy
The slag or dross that remains after the smelting of metal from an ore.
self-hardening
adjectiveMetallurgy
Designating, or pertaining to, any of various steels that harden when heated to above a red heat and cooled in air, usually in a blast of cold air with moderate rapidity, without quenching. Such steels are alloys of iron and carbon with manganese, tungsten and manganese, chromium, molybdenum and manganese, etc. They are chiefly used as high speed steels.
slaggable
adjectiveMetallurgy
Able to be turned into slag.
slagger
nounMetallurgy
One who works with slag.
slaglessness
nounMetallurgy
The quality of being free from slag.
slush-cast
verbMetallurgy
To create hollow castings in which molten metal is poured into a metallic mould and then poured out again, leaving a thin solidified layer of the metal on the walls of the mold.
smelting
nounMetallurgy
The process of melting or fusion, especially to extract a metal from its ore.
sorbitization
nounMetallurgy
The process of sorbitizing, especially in the hardening of metal by interrupted quenching.
sorbitize
verbMetallurgy
To convert into a form containing sorbite.
spheroidize
verbMetallurgy
To heat (carbon steel) to form spheroidite.
