Noun
/bɪn.dɪŋ ˈmɛt.əl/
The term "binding metal" typically refers to a type of metal used in various applications for the purpose of binding, fastening, or connecting items together. In industrial contexts, it can refer to metals used in manufacturing processes or in the creation of metal bindings for products.
The frequency of the term varies by context, but it is generally more prevalent in technical and written references, such as engineering manuals or material science literature, rather than in casual conversation.
The engineer decided to use a stronger binding metal to ensure the components would hold together under pressure.
Translation: Инженер решил использовать более прочный связывающий металл, чтобы гарантировать, что компоненты будут удерживаться вместе под давлением.
The binding metal used in the construction of the bridge must withstand both tension and compression forces.
Translation: Связывающий металл, используемый в строительстве моста, должен выдерживать как натяжение, так и сжатие.
In jewelry making, choosing the right binding metal is crucial for the durability of the piece.
Translation: В ювелирном деле выбор правильного связывающего металла имеет решающее значение для долговечности изделия.
While "binding metal" itself is not commonly found in idiomatic expressions, it relates to concepts of connection and security. Here are a few idiomatic contexts where metals and binding could be incorporated into expressions:
"As strong as metal" - His commitment to the project was as strong as metal, ensuring its success.
Translation: Его приверженность проекту была столь же сильной, как металл, что обеспечило его успех.
"Set in metal" - The plans for the new factory are set in metal, meaning there will be no changes made.
Translation: Планы по строительству нового завода зафиксированы в металле, что означает, что изменений не будет.
"Bind like metal" - Their friendship binds like metal, enduring through every challenge.
Translation: Их дружба связывает как металл, выдерживая каждое испытание.
The term "binding" comes from the Old English "bindan," which means to bind or tie together. "Metal" comes from the Latin "metallum," meaning a mine or metal, which itself originates from the Greek "metallon," meaning "to mine or work in metal." Hence, "binding metal" can be understood as a metal that serves the purpose of fastening or tying.
Synonyms: - Fastening metal - Connecting metal - Jointing metal
Antonyms: - Unbinding metal - Disconnecting metal
In contexts where "binding" represents a function, it can also be used more broadly in technology, manufacturing, and craftsmanship across various materials beyond metal.
