The Book of Terms

Conditioning

The removal or surface defects (seams, laps, pits, etc.). In steel, conditioning is usually done when it is in the semi-finished condition (blooms, billets, slabs). It may be accomplished, after an inspection, by chipping, scarfing, grinding or machining. In special cases, the steel may be pickled first so as to reveal more of the defects.
