vieillissement : Phénomène qui se manifeste, sur certains alliages trempés ou écrouis, par une augmentation notable de dureté, due à une évolution structurale, au cours d'un maintien prolongé à une température peu élevée. 1, record 2, French, - vieillissement%20artificiel
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Lorsque, à l'état solide, un élément présente une variation de solubilité notable dans un métal, on peut, par trempe, maintenir cette solution solide sursaturée dans un état métastable; la solution solide tend à évoluer vers un état stable par précipitation et rejet de l'élément en sursaturation. Cette évolution est extrêmement lente à température inférieure à 0 °C, mais devient sensible à température ambiante; on l'appelle alors vieillissement naturel (ou maturation naturelle, ou revenu à l'ambiante), et elle se traduit par un durcissement (...) si ce vieillissement est accéléré (vieillissement artificiel) par maintien de l'alliage à une température (...) 1, record 2, French, - vieillissement%20artificiel
