decalescence
Decalescence is a phenomenon in the process of heating or cooling certain metals and alloys, particularly steel, where the material appears to stop cooling or heating for a while and then resumes its temperature change. This phenomenon is observed at the transformation temperature, the point at which the metal changes its internal structure. In other words, decalescence is the absorption of heat without a corresponding increase in temperature as a metal changes phase from ferrite to austenite, or vice versa.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Decalescence
The converse of recalescence, q. v. When a mass of steel is being heated as it reaches the temperature of recalescence it suddenly absorbs a large amount of heat, apparently growing cooler.
