Metallurgy
Cooling stresses
Metals; Metallurgy
Stresses developed by uneven contraction or external constraint of metal during cooling; also those stresses resulting from localised plastic deformation during cooling, and retained.
Controlled atmosphere furnaces
Metals; Metallurgy
A furnace used for bright annealing into which specially prepared gases are introduced for the purpose of maintaining a neutral atmosphere so that no oxidising reaction between metal and atmosphere ...
Continuous strip mill
Metals; Metallurgy
A series of synchronised rolling mill stands in which coiled flat rolled metal entering the first pass (or stand) moves in a straight line and is continuously reduced in thickness (not width) at each ...
Converter
Metals; Metallurgy
A furnace in which air is blown through the molten bath of crude metal or matte for the purpose of oxidising impurities.
Controlled rolling
Metals; Metallurgy
A hot rolling process in which the temperature of the steel is closely controlled, particularly during the final rolling passes, to produce a fine-grain microstructure.
Continuous furnace
Metals; Metallurgy
Furnace, in which the material being heated moves steadily through the furnace.
