| Bake Hardenable Steel | (english) A cold-rolled, low-carbon sheet steel used for automotive body panel applications. Because of the steel’s special processing, it has good stamping and strength characteristics and after paint is baked on, improved dent resistance. |
| Baked Core | (english) A core which has been heated through sufficient time and temperature to produce the desired physical properties attainable from its oxidizing or thermal-setting binders. |
| Baked Strength | (english) Compressive, shear, tensile or transverse strength of a mold sand mixture when baked at a temperature above 231 B0F (111 B0C) and then cooled to room temperature. |
| Balanced Steel | (english) Steels in which the deoxidisation is controlled to produce an intermediate structure between a rimmed and killed steel, Sometimes referred to as semi-killed steels, they possess uniform properties throughout the ingot and amongst their applications are boiler plate and structural sections. |
| Ball Burnishing | (english) A method of obtaining a high luster on small parts by rotating them in a wooden-lined barrel with water, burnishing soap, and stainless steel shot. |
| BALL VALVE | (english) A valve that may be used to divert the flow of fluid in a passage. Most normally configured in a two-way pattern that is either open or closed. |
| Baller Stick | (english) Octagon-shaped wooden stick approximately 5' long. This stick is used in the baller area, to change burr mashers, to start a coil with a large ID, etc. |

| Band Dispenser | (english) Device that holds that roll of steel banding. |
