CONT

[A billet is a] semi-finished steel product with a square cross section up to 155 mm x 155 mm. This product is either rolled or continuously cast and is then transformed by rolling to obtain finished products like wire rod, merchant bars and other sections. The range of semi-finished products above 155 mm x 155 mm are called blooms.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Extrusion (Métallurgie)
  • Acier
CONT

Le métal en fusion est affiné pour enlever les impuretés et développer la composition désirée. L'acier liquide est coulé en blooms, en brames ou en billettes, puis ces produits semi-finis sont façonnés dans les formes désirées par laminage ou par forgeage.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallurgy - General
DEF

An intermediate solid wrought product of uniform, approx. round, triangular or regular polygonal cross-section along its whole length (with a maximum cross-section dimension exceeding 6 mm) supplied in coils.

OBS

[Drawing stock] Term standardized by ISO.

OBS

Taking into account different manufacturing processes, e. g. extruding, hot rolling, continuous casting with subsequent hot rolling, the term "drawing stock" for the intermediate product was selected as the preferred term to replace the term "Wire rod". a) Drawing stock : This term was derived by analogy with "forging stock", in order to express that this intermediate product is intended to be drawn. b) Wire rod : This term-used in some countries-has been rejected on the basis of terminology principles :"wire" and "rod" are terms for two different products, which shall not be combined to name a third product.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallurgie générale
DEF

Produit intermédiaire plein corroyé de section transversale, approximativement circulaire, triangulaire ou polygonale régulière constante sur toute la longueur (avec une dimension de la section au delà de 6 mm), livré enroulé.

CONT

Pour fabriquer les fils métalliques, on réduit par laminage à chaud, sur des trains à fil, le diamètre de barres ou de billettes, obtenues soit par coulée continue, soit par laminage à chaud. On obtient ainsi le fil machine, dont le diamètre (qui s'étage entre 5 et 15 mm) est réduit par tréfilage à froid.

DEF

Structural shape. General term applied to rolled flanged shapes, having at least one dimension of their cross-section 76 mm (3 inches) or greater, which are used in the construction of bridges, buildings, ships, railroad rolling stock and for numerous other constructional purposes.

DEF

Profile. A product of uniform cross-section along its whole length, with a cross-section other than rod, bar, wire, tube, sheet or strip, supplied in straight lengths or in coiled form. According to the form of its cross-section, it is called :-hollow profile : the cross-section other than tube enclosing one or more complete voids;-solid profile : the cross-section does not enclose any complete void. The cross-sections are formed by extruding, rolling, roll-forming, or drawing, either exclusively or in combination.

OBS

In the past the terms, "shapes" and "sections" were used synonymously. The American Institute of Steel Construction and the producers have now adopted "shapes" as the standard designation.

OBS

[Profile] Term standardized by ISO.

DEF

Matériau longiforme à profil constant, obtenu par étirage, par laminage ou par extrusion à travers une filière.

DEF

Barre d'acier ou d'un autre métal, dont la section a une forme déterminée : les rails sont une variété de profilés; les tôles et les profilés.

DEF

Produit de section transversale constante sur toute sa longueur, de section différente de celles des barres, fils, tubes, tôles ou bandes, livré en longueurs droites ou enroulé. Conformément à la forme de sa section transversale, il est appelé : - profilé creux : section transversale autre que tube avec ou plusieurs creux fermes; - profilé plein : la section transversale ne comprend aucun creux fermés. Les sections transversales sont obtenues par filage, laminage, profilage ou étirage soit exclusivement par l'un de ces procédés, soit par une combinaison de ceux-ci.

OBS

L'élegance des profils extrudés donne un avantage considérable aux éléments linéaires d'aluminium.

OBS

Profil. Sous l'influence de l'anglais, quelquefois confondu avec le terme «profilé».

The designation "wrought", applied to certain aluminum alloys, indicate that the allow are available in the form of worked products such as sheet, foil, plate, extrusions, tube, forgings, ore, bar, and wire. Working operations and thermal treatments transform cast ingot into a completely recrystallized or severely fragmented structure, characteristic for each alloy and product, which influences strength, resistance to corrosion, and other properties.

Recoton develops breakthrough technology which transmits stereo sound through walls, ceilings and floor up to 150 feet. In June 1989, the Federal Communications Commission allocated a band of frequencies stretching from 902 to 928 MHz for wireless, in-home product applications. Recoton, a leading wireless speaker manufacturer, took advantage of the FCC ruling by creating a new speaker system that utilizes this frequency band to transmit clearer, stronger stereo signals throughout your home. You will be able to listen to your stereo, TV, VCR or CD player in any room of your home without having to run miles of speaker wire. The powerful transmitter plugs into a headphone, audio-out or tape-out jack on your stereo or TV component transmitting music wirelessly to your speakers or headphones. One transmitter, unlimited viewers.(En Route, Air-Canada in-flight magazine, June 1994, p. 24).
