Raising or indenting a design in relief on a sheet or strip of metal by passing between rolls of desired pattern.
Elongation after fractur
Metals; Metallurgy
In tensile testing, the increase in the gauge length measured after fracture of the specimen within the gauge length and usually expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length.
Elongation
Metals; Metallurgy
Increase in length which occurs before a metal is fractured, when subjected to stress. This is usually expressed as a percentage of the original length and is a measure of the ductility of the metal.
Electropolishing
Metals; Metallurgy
Improving the specular reflectivity of a metal surface by electrochemical dissolution.
