solidificano

Solidificano is the Italian verb form meaning "they solidify." In scientific and educational Italian, the related noun solidificazione describes the transition from liquid to solid or the growth of a solid phase within a material.

Solidification occurs when a substance cools below its melting point or otherwise adopts conditions that favor a solid state. The process can produce crystalline solids, where particles arrange in an ordered lattice, or amorphous solids, such as glasses, where long-range order is absent. Key features include nucleation, where initial solid particles appear, and growth, where the solid phase expands. Latent heat is released or absorbed during the transition depending on the system.

In metallurgy and materials science, solidification governs casting, alloy formation, and additive manufacturing. Cooling rate, composition, impurities, and thermal gradients influence the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties. Methods to control solidification aim to achieve desired grain size, phase distribution, and defect suppression.

In geology, solidification describes magma or lava cooling to form igneous rocks, with crystal size reflecting cooling rate. In food science and everyday contexts, solidification can refer to freezing, gelation, or crystallization of sugars and syrups, affecting texture and stability.

Overall, the term functions as a verb form in Italian for describing the onset and progression of the solid state, with processes varying by material and environment.
