Term
|
Definition
| in the context of a metallic material, a heat treatment used to eliminate part or all of the effects of cold working |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| deformation of a metal below the recyrstallization temperature, the number of dislocations in the metal increases causing the metal to be strengthened as the shape is changed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a deformation processing technique in which a material is pushed through an opening in a die (ex to form wire) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| deformation processing technique in which a material is pushed through an opening in a die |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a pinned dislocation that under an applied stress produces additional dislocation, this mechanismis at least partially responsible for strain hardening |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| deformation of a metal above its recrystallization temperature, only the shape of the metal changes, the strength remains relatively unchanged |
|
|
Term
| Polygonized Subgrain Structure |
|
Definition
| a subgrain structure produced in the early stages of annealing, made up of a network of dislocations rearranged during heating |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a low temperature annealing heat treatment designed to eliminate residual stresses introduced during deformation without reducing the strength of the cold worked material, same as stress relief anneal |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a medium temperature annealing heat treatment designed to eliminate all of the effects of strain hardening produced during cold working, nucleation of new grains that eliminates most of the dislocations |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| stresses introduced in a material during processing, can orginate in cold working or differential thermal expansion and contraction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| strengthening of a material by increasing the number of dislocations by deformation, also known as "work hardening" |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the recovery stage of the annealing heat treatment during which residual stresses are relieved without reducing the mechanical properties of the metal |
