Abrasion 2 |
(english) The process of rubbing, grinding, or wearing away by friction. |
Abrasion-Resistant Steels |
(english) A family of steel products developed for those applications involved in sliding and/or impact abrasion. |
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE |
(english) The indicated value of the weight of the earth's atmosphere. At sea level, this value is approximately 14.65 psi (pounds per square inch). |
Acetyl Tributyl Citrate |
(english) One of the lubricating oils generally applied on tin Mill Products (tin plate, TFS-chrome/chrome oxide coated steel, and blackplate). |
Acid Process 1 |
(english) A process of making steel, either Bessemer, open-hearth or electric, in which the furnace is lined with a siliceous refractory and for which low phosphorus pig iron is required as this element is not removed. |
Acid Process 2 |
(english) A steel making method using an acid refractory-lined (usually silica) furnace. Neither sulfur or phosphorus is removed. |
Acid-Process |
(english) A process of making steel, either Bessemer, open-hearth or electric, in which the furnace is lined with a siliceous refractory and for which low phosphorus pig iron is required as this element is not removed. |
Adapti Investment Casting Process |
(english) A lost wax process employing one of three methods; centrifugal, vacuum or gravity-pouring casting. |
Adeline Steelmaking Process |
(english) Method of producing a precision casting of steel or steel alloys using aluminolthermic process and lost wax, followed by centrifugal action. |
Age Hardening |
(english) Hardening by aging, usually after rapid cooling or cold working. The term as applied to soft, or low carbon steels, relates to a wide variety of commercially important, slow, gradual changes that take place in properties of steels after the final treatment. These changes, which bring about a condition of increased hardness, elastic limit, and tensile strength with a consequent loss in ductility, occur during the period in which the steel is at normal temperatures. |
