Tous les ouvrages consultés ne sont pas unanimes à privilégier l'emploi d'affinage plutôt que raffinage en métallurgie, à preuve des exemples relevés au Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse (LAROG 1982) et dans l'encyclopédie Universalis (UNIVE 1984). Quoi qu'il en soit la préférence de l'usage semble aller au terme affinage. 9, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectroaffinage
