临界温度- Furnace annealing is much better and consists in heating the piece in a furnace to the critical temperature and then allowing the work and the furnace to cool together.
- Here, too, there were no seas, for the temperature was above the critical temperature of water, and only in the self-cooling bodies of these men and in the trees which similarly cooled themselves, could there be liquid.
- Its critical temperatures will be located at slightly different heats than for a steel which has a different proportion of alloying elements.
- The critical temperatures are the proper ones for annealing as well as hardening.

This behavior of magnetic systems below acriticaltemperatureis an example of collective behavior.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Scaling coupling energies by thecriticaltemperaturegives a universal phase diagram, for systems falling into the universality class of backbone-entropy-driven unfolding as discussed previously.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Convective instability analyses are useful in all three cases to predict thecriticaltemperaturegradient above which motion occurs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We used such a steep gradient so that the relatively largecriticaltemperaturedifference across the slot could be measured with greater accuracy.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Melting starts at nucleation sites when reaches thecriticaltemperature0 at these points, and a mush forms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is seen that the effect of a variable v is to lower thecriticaltemperaturegradient and diminish the corresponding values of k2 + 12.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Above acriticaltemperaturegradient this conducting solution becomes linearly unstable and a convecting state is observed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We assume that the sample is cooled to acriticaltemperaturewith an applied field of appropriate strength.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A linearized convective instability analysis predicts thecriticaltemperaturegradient when only the magnetic mechanism is important, as well as when both the magnetic and buoyancy mechanisms are operative.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At acriticaltemperature, the latter becomes so strong that the interaction between the particles is effectively overcome, and a phase transition occurs from the ordered into the disordered phase.
From theCambridge English Corpus
