n
Alternative form of cupellation [The assaying of precious metal in a cupel.]
v
Alternative form of deadmelt [(metallurgy) To melt steel at high temperatures in order to deoxidize it.]

Alternative form of deadmelt [(metallurgy) To melt steel at high temperatures in order to deoxidize it.]
v
(metallurgy) To melt steel at high temperatures in order to deoxidize it.
n
Any insulating grease that prevents corrosion of electrical connectors (and spark plugs etc) by preventing access by water
n
(dated) An alloy that has expanded upon cooling.
v
(obsolete, transitive) To solder or unite, as for example metals.
v
To melt, especially of metal in an industrial setting.
v
(transitive) To convert into gelatin or a jelly-like substance.
n
An adhesive that is applied in a liquid molten form but sets into a solid form as it cools.
v
(intransitive, by extension) To become rigid or fixed, like something made of wood.
n
(metallurgy) A shiny substance that floats on the surface of liquid metal as it issues from the smelting furnace, indicating that the metal is saturated with carbon.
n
(metallurgy) The partial melting of a mixture of metals or ores in order to separate components.
n
(Australia, India, UK) A machine to chop or puree food; a blender.
n
A liquid medium used in hydrometallurgy to selectively extract the desired metal from the ore or mineral.
n
(pyrometallurgy) The molten metal sulfide phases typically formed during smelting of copper, nickel, and other base metals.
n
Molten material, the product of melting.
v
To melt a metal, especially so that it can be remade into something else.
n
The process of melting.
adj
Reduced to a particulate form
v
(transitive, metallurgy) To produce metal from ore by removing nonmetallic elements in a smelter.
n
(chiefly attributive) The direct liquid-phase reduction of ferrous and nonferrous ores and industrial waste products.
n
The removal of a layer of scale from a surface.
v
To compact and heat a powder to form a solid mass.
v
To purify by melting and removing slag.
adj
Mixed with water so that a true chemical combination has taken place
n
Any of the various liquids or semi-molten solids produced and used during the course of such production.
v
To pour, as steel, from a melting pot; to fill, as a mould, with molten metal.
n
A liquid substance used to thin the consistency of another liquid.
v
To separate (precious metal etc.) from the ore by melting; to purify, refine.
n
Any of a group of steel alloys developed to eliminate the need for painting, forming a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for a long period.
n
(physics, chemistry) A technique used to purify a metal, semiconductor or other solid in which a heating system slowly causes a series of molten zones to traverse the solid, leaving purer material behind it.

Note: Concept clusters like the one above are an experimental OneLook feature. We've grouped words and phrases into thousands of clusters based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe every word within the cluster; furthermore, the clusters may be missing some entries that you'd normally associate with their names.
