| Term | Definition |
| Quenching | Controlled rapid cooling of a metal from an elevated temperature by contact with a liquid, a gas, or a solid. |
| Rib | An elongated projection on a shape or forging to provide stiffening. |
| Ring Condition | A subsurface condition in an extrusion which, when present, generally parallels the section contour. It is the result of liquated surface metal from the ingot becoming incorporated into the metal flowing through the die and may be revealed by caustic etching of a cross section. |
| Rod | A solid product that is long in relation to cross section, which is 3/8" or greater in diameter. |
| Rod, Alclad | Rod having on its surface a metallurgically bonded aluminum or aluminum alloy coating that is anodic to the core alloy to which it is bonded, thus electrolytically protecting the core against corrosion. |
| Rod, Cold-Finished | Rod brought to final dimensions by cold working to obtain improved surface finish and dimensional tolerances. |
| Rod, Cold-Finished Extruded | Rod produced by cold working extruded rod. |
| Rod, Cold-Finished Rolled | Rod produced by cold working rolled rod. |
| Rod, Cold-Heading | Rod of a quality suitable for use in the manufacture of cold. headed products such as rivets and bolts. |
| Rod, Extruded | Rod produced by hot extruding. |
| Rod, Redraw | Coiled rod of a quality suitable for drawing into wire. |
| Roll Mark | A raised area formed during rolling by the imprint of a depression in a roll. |
| Rolled Ring | A cyclindrical product of relatively short height circumferentially rolled from a hollow section. |
| Rolling Slab | A rectangular semifinished product, produced by hot rolling fabricating ingot and suitable for further rolling. |
| Rub Mark | A minor form of scratching consisting of a large number of very fine scratches or abrasions. |
| Scalping | Mechanical removal of the surface layer from a fabricating ingot or semifinished wrought product so that surface imperfections will not be worked into the finished product. |
| Scratch | A sharp linear indentation in the surface of the metal. |
| Screw Machine Stock | Bar, rod, and wire in certain standard alloys, tempers, sizes and shapes suitable for automatic screw machine applications. |
| Section Number | The number assigned to an extruded or drawn shape for identification and cataloging purposes, usually the same number assigned for the same purpose to the die from which the shape is made. |
| Shape | A section produced by such methods as extruding, rolling, drawing, etc., that is long in relation to its cross-sectional dimensions and has a cross section other than that of sheet, plate, rod, bar, tube or wire.
