BOLT KIT |
(english) A set of bolts or screws that ore selected to suit a particular application, i.e. pre-selected length, threads and strength to match the mounted component. |
Bonderized Coating |
(english) A thin film of phosphate pretreatment applied to a steel surface (bare or zinc coated) to enhance paintability. |
Bonderizing |
(english) The coating of steel with a film composed largely of zinc phosphate in order to develop a better bonding surface for paint or lacquer. |
Bonding Clay (Bonderise) |
(english) Any clay suitable for use as a bonding material. |

Boron (chemical symbol B) |
(english) 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 atmosphere is about 4000 (degrees) F. Boron is used in steel in minute quantities for one purpose only- to increase the hardenability as in case hardening and to increase strength and hardness penetration. |
Boron Steels |
(english) The addition of boron in the range 0.0005-0.005% to certain steels increases the hardenability. A range of boron steels is now listed in the current BS 970 and are widely used for the production of cold headed fastenings. |
Boss |
(english) A projection or an enlarged section of a casting through which a hole may be machine. |
Bottle Top Mold |
(english) 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 trapping escaping gases. |
