  2. Volcaniclastics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcaniclastics

    The Espinaso Formation includes a wide variety of volcaniclastic materials. Volcaniclastics are geologic materials composed of broken fragments of volcanic rock. [1] These encompass all clastic volcanic materials, regardless of what process fragmented the rock, how it was subsequently transported, what environment it was deposited in, or whether nonvolcanic material is mingled with the ...

  5. Wood preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_preservation

    The PTI preservative imparts very little color to the wood. Producers generally add a color agent or a trace amount of copper solution so as to identify the wood as pressure treated and to better match the color of other pressure treated wood products. The PTI wood products are very well adapted for paint and stain applications with no bleed ...

  6. Tephra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tephra

    Tephra is any sized or composition pyroclastic material produced by an explosive volcanic eruption and precise geological definitions exist. [2] It consists of a variety of materials, typically glassy particles formed by the cooling of droplets of magma , which may be vesicular, solid or flake-like, and a varying proportions of crystalline and ...

  7. Fenestra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenestra

    In plant biology, the perforations in a perforate leaf are also described as fenestrae, and the leaf is called a fenestrate leaf. The leaf window is also known as a fenestra, [5] and is a translucent structure that transmits light, as in Fenestraria.

  8. Continuous production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_production

    Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment.

  9. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    Ductile (non-porous) cast iron (often called "black iron") is produced by black tempering. Unlike white tempering, black tempering is done in an inert gas environment, so that the decomposing carbon does not burn off. Instead, the decomposing carbon turns into a type of graphite called "temper graphite" or "flaky graphite," increasing the ...
