Record 1 2016-08-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Powder Metallurgy
DEF

The thermal treatment of a powder or compact, at a temperature below the melting point of the main constituent, for the purpose of increasing its strength by the bonding together of its particles.

OBS

sintering: term and definition standardized by ISO.

OBS

sintering: term standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Report.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallurgie des poudres
DEF

Traitement thermique d'une poudre ou d'un comprimé, effectué à une température inférieure au point de fusion du constituant principal, dans le but d'accroître sa résistance mécanique par liaison entre les particules.

OBS

frittage : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

OBS

frittage : terme normalisé par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre de l'Inventaire des émissions de polluants atmosphériques.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Metalurgia del polvo
DEF

Técnica utilizada para convertir pequeñas partículas sólidas en otras de mayor tamaño, bien sea entremezclándolas en una atmósfera húmeda, por aplicación de presión y calor, o por la combinación de ambos métodos.

OBS

Tiene gran importancia en metalurgia, para la recuperación y manejo de sólidos pulverulentos.

Record 2 2009-01-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

The process of bond formation between snow grains.

CONT

A newborn snowflake that falls out of the sky doesn't stay that way for long. As soon as it lands on the snow surface it begins a rapid process of change. Once again, just like people, as a snowflake ages, its beautiful, angular shape becomes progressively more rounded through time and it forms bonds with its neighbors. In people, it's called growing up; in the snowpack it's called "sintering" - forming bonds with neighboring crystals to create the fabric of the snowpack. As sintering progresses, the snow becomes denser and stronger, which we call "settlement."

CONT

The sintering process will strengthen the bond between snow grains. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

sintering: term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
DEF

Processus d'agglomération des grains qui se soudent au niveau de leurs points de contact.

CONT

Le frittage augmente la cohésion entre les grains de neige. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

La cohésion devient bonne lorsque le frittage est fort.

OBS

frittage; cohésion de frittage : termes uniformisés par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.

Record 3 2003-11-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

Coalescence of solid particles. Catalysts often suffer during use from a gradual increase in the average size of the crystallites or growth of the primary particles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

[...] coalescence de particules solides. À l'usage, les catalyseurs souffrent souvent d'une augmentation graduelle de la taille moyenne des produits cristallins ou d'une croissance des particules primaires.
