Fuseeritud

Fuseeritud is the Estonian adjective meaning fused or joined by fusion. It is used to describe materials, structures or substances that have been melted and then combined into a single mass. The term is common in science, engineering and everyday language when referring to processes of fusion. It derives from the verb fuseerida and follows standard Estonian adjective inflection.

In materials science and optics, fuseeritud kvarts, or fused quartz, refers to the amorphous form of silicon dioxide produced by melting silica and cooling it to form a rigid, non-crystalline material. Fuseeritud kvarts is valued for its high optical clarity, broad light transmission, low thermal expansion and good chemical resistance. It is distinct from crystalline quartz, which has an ordered crystal structure. The broader category of fuseeritud materials includes other glasses and glass-like substances formed by fusion, such as fuseeritud klaas used in various industrial and artistic applications.

In manufacturing and engineering, fuseeritud describes items or joints created by melting and combining components. For example, fuseeritud klaas denotes glass that has been melted and fused to create a homogeneous material, often used in specialty glass products or in glass-ceramic processes. The term also appears in contexts like jewelry, electronics or dentistry to indicate components that have been joined into a single fused mass through heat or other fusion processes.

Overall, fuseeritud conveys the idea of a material or structure that has been formed through fusion, resulting in a unified, cohesive whole.
