Seadmelt

Seadmelt is a term that can refer to a few different concepts, primarily related to the process of melting or the material produced by melting.

In metallurgy and materials science, seadmelt typically describes the state of a substance after it has undergone a melting process. This could be the molten metal in a furnace or the solidified product after cooling from a molten state. The term emphasizes the transition from solid to liquid and back again. It's often used in contexts discussing casting, forging, or other high-temperature manufacturing techniques where materials are deliberately melted and reshaped. The properties of a seadmelted material can differ significantly from its original solid form, often exhibiting increased ductility or a more homogeneous microstructure.

More broadly, "seadmelt" can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of intense heat or pressure that causes something to lose its structural integrity or composure. This usage is less technical and more colloquial, appearing in descriptions of extreme weather conditions or stressful situations. For instance, one might say the pavement was "seadmelted" during a heatwave. However, this metaphorical application is less common and lacks a precise definition. The core idea remains the transformation due to extreme heat.
