lamination
This term describes the application of a protective seal or the inherent layered structure of a material. In a commercial or office context, it carries a connotation of preservation and durability, often associated with documents and identification cards to prevent degradation from moisture or handling.
In engineering and metallurgy, the word shifts from a positive attribute of construction to a negative indicator of failure. When referring to defects in steel or timber, it signifies a structural weakness where layers have split or failed to bond, implying a risk of collapse or instability.
Meanings
The process of bonding a thin layer of plastic or other protective material to a surface to protect it from damage or wear.
