metal Terminology^{1 D}

DEAD FLAT
Perfectly flat. As pertaining^{2 to sheet, strip or plate.}

DEAD SOFT ANNEALING
Heating metal to above the critical range and appropriately cooling to develop the greatest possible commercial softness or ductility^3.

DEAD SOFT STEEL
Steel, normally made in the basic open-hearth furnace or by the basic oxygen process with carbon less than 0.10% and manganese in the 0.20-0.50% range, completely annealed.

DEAD SOFT TEMPER
- Condition of maximum softness commercially attainable^{4 in wire, strip, or sheet metal in the annealed state.}

DEBURRING
A method whereby the raw slit^{5 edge of metal is removed by rolling or filing.}

DECARBURIZATION
Removal of carbon from the outer surface of iron or steel, usually by heating in an oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. Water vapor^{6, oxygen and carbon dioxide are strong decarburizers. Reheating with adhering scale is also strongly decarburizing in action.}

DEEP DRAWING
The process of cold working or drawing sheet or strip metal blanks by means of dies on a press into shames which are usually more or less cup-like in character involving considerable plastic deformation^{7 of the metal. Deep-drawing quality sheet or strip steel, ordered or sold on the basis of suitability for deep-drawing.}

DEGASSING PROCESS
- Removing gases from the molten metal by means of a vacuum process in combination with mechanical action.

DELTA^{8 IRON
Allotropic modification9 of iron, stable above 2552癋. to melting point. It is of body-centered cubic crystal structure.}

DEOXIDIZING
Removal of oxygen. In steel sheet, strip, and wire technology, the term refers to heat treatment in a reducing atmosphere, to lessen^{10 the amount of scale.}

DIE-LINES
Lines of markings caused on drawn^{11 or extruded12 products by minor13 imperfections in the surface of the die.}

DIE SINKING
Forming or machining a depressed^{14 pattern in a die.}

DISH
A concave surface departing from a straight line edge to edge. Indicates transverse or across the width.

DOCTOR BLADE STEEL STRIP
A hardened and tempered spring steel strip, usually blued, produced from approximately .85 carbon cold rolled spring steel strip specially^{15 selected for straightness and good edges. Sometimes hand straightened or straightened by grinding and cut to desired lengths. This product is used in the printing trade as a blade to uniformly remove excess ink from the rolls; hence its name.}

DRAWING BACK
Reheated after hardening to a temperature below the critical for the purpose of changing the hardness of the steel.

DRILL ROD
A term given to an annealed and polished high carbon tool steel rod usually round and centerless ground. The sizes range in round stock from .013 to 1 ?#148; diameter. Commercial qualities embrace water and oil hardening grades. A less popular but nevertheless standard grade is a non-deforming quality. Drill Rods are used principally by machinists and tool and die makers^{16 for punches, drills, taps, dowel pins, screw machine parts, small tools, etc.}

DRY ROLLED FINISH
Finish obtained by cold rolling on polished rolls without the use of any coolant or metal lubricant, material previously^{17 plain pickled, giving a burnished18 appearance.}

DUCTILITY
The property of metals that enables them to be mechanically deformed^{19 when cold, without fracture. In steel, ductility is usually measured by elongation and reduction of area as determined20 in a tensile test.}

DURALUMIN
The trade name applied^{21 to the first aluminum22-copper23-magnesium type of age-hardenable alloy24 , which contains nominally25 4% Cu, ?% Mg. The term is sometimes used to include the class of wrought26 aluminum-copper-magnesium alloys27 that harden during aging at room temperature.}

metal Terminology E

EARING
Wavy projections^{28 formed at the opera end of a cup or shell in the course of deep drawing because of differences in directional properties. Also termed scallop.}

EDGES
Many types of edges can be produced in the manufacture of flat rolled metal products. Over the years the following types of edges have become recognized as standard in their respective fields.

COPPER base ALLOYS
Slit, Slit and Edge Rolled, Sheared^{29, Sawed, Machined or Drawn,}

SHEET STEELS OR ALUMINUM SHEET
Mill Edge, Slit Edge or Sheared Edge.

STRIP STEELS and ST人工智能NLESS^{30 STRIP
No. 1 Edge - A smooth, uniform, round or square edge, either slit or filed or slit and edge rolled as specified31, width tolerance32 +/-.005.}

No. 2 Edge - A natural round mill edge carried through from the hot rolled band. Has not been slit, filed, or edge rolled. Tolerances^{33 not closer than hot-rolled strip limits.}

No. 3 Edge - Square, produced by slitting^{34 only. Not filed. Width tolerance close.}

No. 4 Edge - A round edge produced by edge rolling either from a natural mill edge or from slit edge strip. Not as perfect as No. 1 edge. Width tolerances liberal.

No. 5 Edge - An approximately square edge produced by slitting and filing or slitting and rolling to remove burr.

No. 6 Edge - A square edge produced by square edge rolling, generally from square edge hot-rolled occasionally from slit strip. Width tolerances and finish not as exacting^{35 as No. 1 edge.}

EDGE FILING
A method whereby the raw or slit edges of strip metal are passed or drawn one or more times against a series of files, mounted at various angles. This method may be used for deburring only or filing to a specific contour including a completely rounded edge.

EDGE STR人工智能N OR EDGE BREAKS
Creases extending in from the edge of the temper rolled sheet.

EDGEWISE CURVATURE

EDGING
The dressing^{36 of metal strip edges by rolling, filing or drawing.}

ELASTIC^{37 LIMIT
Maximum stress that a material will stand before permanent deformation occurs.}

ELECTRIC FURNACE STEEL
Steel made in any furnace where heat is generated electrically, almost always by arc. Because of relatively^{38 high cosplayt, only tool steels and other high-value steels are made by the electric furnace process.}

ELECTROCLEANING
- An anodic treatment. A cleaning, polishing, or oxidizing treatment in which the specimen^{39 or work is made the anode in a suitable electrolyte; an inert40 metal is used as cathode and a potential is applied.}
