  2. Galling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling

    The damage on the metal sheet or characteristic pattern illustrates an "uneven surface," a change in the sheet material's plastic behavior and involves a larger deformed volume compared to mere flattening of the surface oxides. Galling is a form of wear caused by adhesion between sliding surfaces.

  3. Glossary of woodworking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_woodworking

    The reduction of a whole log into pieces suitable for working. Conversion can be done in three basic ways: sawn, hewn, or split. coping saw crook Longitudinal bending to one side, caused by uneven seasoning or grain. See wood warping. crotch

  4. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

    The basic GD&T symbol for surface roughness. Surface roughness or simply roughness is the quality of a surface of not being smooth and it is hence linked to human perception of the surface texture. From a mathematical perspective it is related to the spatial variability structure of surfaces, and inherently it is a multiscale property.

  5. Wood warping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_warping

    Warping primarily occurs due to uneven expansion or contraction caused by changes in moisture content. Warping can occur in wood considered "dry" (wood can take up and release moisture indefinitely [ 1 ] ) when it takes up moisture unevenly, or when it is allowed to return to its "dry" equilibrium state unevenly, too slowly, or too quickly.

  6. Burr (edge) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_(edge)

    Metal burr extending beyond the edge of the cut piece, view on the cut face (top) and from the bottom (bottom) A burr is a raised edge or small piece of material that remains attached to a workpiece after a modification process. [1]

  7. Glossary of pottery terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_pottery_terms

    A parting and contraction of the glaze on the surface of ceramic ware during drying or firing, resulting in unglazed areas bordered by coalesced glaze. May be caused by uneven glazing, excessive glaze thickness or a greasy substrate. [8] Crazing A glaze fault characterised by the cracking of fired glazes and due to high tensile stresses.

  8. Specific surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_surface_area

    Scratches, represented by triangular-shaped grooves, make the surface area greater. Specific surface area (SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, [1] (with units of m 2 /kg or m 2 /g). Alternatively, it may be defined as SA per solid or bulk volume [2] [3] (units of m 2 /m 3 or m −1).

  9. Surface finish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

    Surface finish, also known as surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness. [1] It comprises the small, local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane ).
