Sherardizing, means of forming a uniform, corrosion-resistant coating of zinc on the surface of iron or steel objects.
This isn't to write off David Cameron's chances of returning to Downing Street after the next election: he may well end up leading the largest single party again, and either reform the coalition, lead a minority administration or find some other means of forming a government.
Powder consolidation under load is a common means of forming ceramic or intermetallic components for advanced structural applications.
Systems for managing knowledge and sharing expertise must recognise these rich means of forming a perception of the credibility of individual pieces of information.
Corrugation has long been seen as a simple and effective means of forming lightweight structures with high anisotropic behaviour, stability under buckling load and energy absorption capability.
This work provides means of forming high-resolution, high aspect ratio holographic images in polymers for applications in data storage using switchable holography.
The ability to control the calcium phosphate phases that are going to form on the surfaces of the mat is another merit, which serves the means of forming a phase graded mat cross section.
In addition, this method not only allows a coating on both the surfaces of the mat, but also provides the means of forming a continuous coating along the whole cross section.
This appears to be a much more effective means of forming new high angle boundaries than 180° rotation, where the shear strain is immediately reversed each alternate cycle, but is still less efficient than deformation with a constant strain path.
The aldol reaction is a means of forming carbon carbon bonds in organic chemistry.
An alternative means of forming a metal thin film is by chemical (electroless) deposition.
