- Shot peening — The act of shot-peening and its result; an industrial technological operation of shot-blasting, hardening, or finishing metals, performed by projecting a dense jet of metallic pellets onto a surface. This structural process modifies the mechanical properties of the surface layer, inducing compressive stresses that prevent crack propagation, eliminate oxidation, and prepare the material for subsequent galvanic coating or painting.
- To deep draw — To process a metal sheet through plastic deformation, cold or hot, using a press and a mold, to obtain hollow, domed, or embossed parts (such as car bodies, pots, rims, or metal cases). This technical procedure alters the material's geometry without generating chips, preserving the continuity of the metal's molecular structure.
- Deep drawing — The act of deep drawing and its result; a technological operation for cold or hot processing of sheet metal, whereby a flat blank is transformed into a hollow part using a press and a die. The structural process involves the plastic flow of the material under the force exerted by the punch, being essential in mass industrial production due to high efficiency and dimensional accuracy.
- Textile starcher — A skilled worker in a textile enterprise who conducts and monitors installations for finishing, starching, and treating materials with sizing agents. As an adjective, it describes a mechanical device, industrial machinery, chemical substance, or macromolecular treatment designed exclusively for the structural process of stiffening and improving fabric quality.
- Cutting tool — A machine, tool, or mechanical component specifically designed to cut, turn, or mill a material, removing the surplus in the form of chips or shavings; a cutting tool. As an adjective, it describes any action, movement, or structural capacity of an instrument to penetrate the layers of a solid object to modify its geometry by chipping.
