Definitions
- 1 Alternative form of cross-wedge. alt-of, alternative
"During the crosswedge rolling process, the empirical correlation of the coefficient of friction is expressed as μf=0.5 X exp(−δωr) [2.31] where the linear velocity is in."
- 2 A wedge that is driven crosswise.
"These are all the shoulders that will be necessary, unless when the reversing motion is used, and in that case, two more square or polygonal parts w w, must be formed for the external ratchet-wheels N and O to be fixed upon, and these wheels may be secured in their places by the washers x x, which may be screwed on, or, what is better, be made secure by crosswedge-keys driven through them, as shewn in the figure."
- 3 A wedge-shaped waveform that moves in the cross direction to the current.
"For this asymptotic case we are considering, k - r \, and * - (54), is the distance from the apex multiplied by some constant factor Fig 4 shows that the crosswedge wavelength decreases as the wave approaches the apex."
