Solidification
Definition:
(n.) Act of solidifying, or state of being solidified.
Example Sentences:
(1) New and deeper understanding of the structure of non-crystalline solids, structural imperfections, sintering physics, and other physical phenomena related to the melting and solidification processes has brought ceramics from the near-total art form process of the mid-century to the status of a highly sophisticated science it enjoyed in the 1980's.
