The act or process of cementing.
A process which consists in surrounding a solid body with the powder of other substances, and heating the whole to a degree not sufficient to cause fusion, the physical properties of the body being changed by chemical combination with powder; thus iron becomes steel by cementation with charcoal, and green glass becomes porcelain by cementation with sand.
lithification process in which minerals are precipitated in the pore space of sediments, often binding the grains.
The processes through which chemical precipitates form within the pore spaces of a sediment and help bind it into a sedimentary rock.
The process by which clastic sediment is lithified by precipitation of mineral cement, such as calcite cement, among the grains of the sediment.
(die) Zementation Cementation is a metallurgical solid state process. In a heated environment one metal stays solid, the other substance/metal is gaseous and is absorbed by the solid substance, thus forming an alloy. There are a few example for this process, e.g. the production of →brass or Wootz-/crucible-steel.
the process of becoming cemented or stuck together.
The joining of objects by means of a cement (e.g., in fracture fixation, such as in hip arthroplasty for joining of the acetabular component to the femoral component). In dentistry, it is used for the process of attaching parts of a tooth or restorative material to a natural tooth or for the attaching of orthodontic bands to teeth by means of an adhesive.
The process of "gluing" the appliance/prosthesis in-situ.
Binding and cohesion of sediments to form a solid mass.
This process consists of converting the surface of a metal into an alloy layer by heating it while surrounded by another metal or non-metal which is generally in a powdered form. Carburizing, sherardizing, calorizing, chromizing, and nitriding are included among the cementation processes.
The diagenetic process by which sediment grains are bound together by precipitated minerals originally dissolved during the chemical weathering of preexisting rocks.
A process of lithification, in which the individual particles of a sediment are held together by a secondary developed material. This may either be a substance introduced by ground water percolating through the pores of a rock, or be derived from solution of part of the mineral matter of the rock followed by redeposition.
One of the processes that work together to turn sediment into sedimentary rock ( lithification). Mineral-laden water percolates through sediment with open pore spaces. The spaces are gradually filled by minerals precipitating from the water, binding the grains together.
A process in which cement and water are added to a plutonium-bearing material to create a concrete or grout material form.
The process of "glue" the appliance/prosthesis on the associated area.
The process of precipitation or growth of a binding material around grains or fragments of rocks. In clastic rocks, cementation is necessary before the rock framework can become consolidated. Chemically the cementing material may be the same as, or different from, the host rock.
The action of binding rock, mineral and / or fossil fragments together by crystallisation of minerals from water in the pores of the sediment to form a harder sedimentary rock.
A process of consolidation whereby particles of sediment are cemented together, usually with mud.
In geology, cementation is the process of deposition of dissolved mineral components in the interstices of sediments. It is an important factor in the consolidation of coarse-grained clastic sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, conglomerates, or breccias during diagenesis or lithification. Cementing materials may include silica, carbonates, iron oxides, or clay minerals.
