Record 1 2018-07-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Destructive and Non-destructive Tests (Mat.)
OBS

Dye penetrant inspection(DPI), also called liquid penetrate inspection(LPI) or penetrant testing(PT), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials(metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials and ferrous materials, although for ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is often used instead for its subsurface detection capability.

Record 2 2012-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tempering of Metals
CONT

Solution annealing is carried out to dissolve alloying elements in the matrix homogenously and to obtain uniform homogeneous microstructures and material properties.

CONT

Ferrous materials are annealed within a temperature range of 950 to 1200°C.... Non-ferrous metals are annealed within a temperature range of 460 to 540°C.... Depending on the material, annealing can be followed by a further treatment, the so-called ageing, for precipitation hardening.

OBS

Annealing of austenitic stainless steel (often referred to as solution treatment) is occasionally called quench annealing because the metal must be cooled rapidly, usually by water quenching, to prevent sensitisation (except for stabilised and extra-low carbon grades).

CONT

Solution annealing and quenching, the standard [heat] treatment that produces normal tensile properties and the desired toughness, involves austenitizing followed quickly by water quenching.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recuit (Métal)
DEF

Traitement thermique ayant pour but la mise et le maintien en solution de certains constituants de l'alliage (phases, précipités).

CONT

Le recuit de mise en solution fait passer en solution solide certains constituants se trouvant initialement sous forme de précipités (carbures, composés intermétalliques, etc.) [et] a souvent pour effet de durcir les alliages (alliages d'aluminium).

OBS

hypertrempe: [...] Traitement thermique dont le but est d'obtenir à la température ambiante une structure austénitique homogène. Il est suivi d'un refroidissement très rapide dans l'air ou dans l'eau.
