French term

Palier

French to English Tech/Engineering Patents scientific patent
Par exemple, si l’aimant a été soumis à un refroidissement rapide jusqu’à une température de 50°C, l’étape de recuisson peut comprendre le profil thermique suivant : - un chauffage de 50°C à 820°C à 5°C/min ;
- un palier à 820 °C pendant 2 heures ;
- un refroidissement de 820°C à 50°C à 20°C/min ;
- un chauffage de 50°C à une température comprise entre 460°C et 650°C à 5°C/min ;
- un palier à une température comprise entre 460°C et 650°C pendant 2 heures ;
- un refroidissement de la température comprise entre 460°C et 650°C à 50°C à 30°C/min.

@Althea
Thank you very much, You have been so helpful.
Referring to this link https://www.west-cs.com/assets/Manuals/YDM000M18-3-9500P-Man... I think "soak" is the most suitable translation for this field.

You've led yourself to water, Anthea, but what does it take to make you drink? See para; 0003 here https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160177412A1/en. It would indeed help if Asker could confirm this is about electronics.
Althea Draper Feb 21, 2023:
I really don't know enough about the heat treatment of magnetic materials to post this as a answer with any certainty. In rapid thermal annealing in semiconductor processing,for example, the period that the substrate is held at a constant (high) temperature is called the soak. In addition, process temperature controllers also refer to a period where the temperature remains constant as a soak. Here is an example (with diagrams) where the French version uses palier when the English version uses soak.

I think Althea has the answer and should post it.
abe(L)solano Feb 21, 2023:
Soak??
They are talking about a magnet. I believe the patent is about achieving (certain) magnetic properties. In lab/science a "hold" in conditions or "steady" conditions is called a plateau. This is needed in order to obtain a given crystalline configuration.

"...performed with a heating plateau at 950 ◦C followed by a slow cooling at 1◦/mn.

An intermediate stage Un palier dans ce cas serait une étape intermédiaire entre deux points de fabrication.
Dans le texte ci-dessus, il apparaît plusieurs étapes lors de la fabrication.

Threshold

'... further comprising adjusting the first threshold temperature based upon the normal historical operating temperature range.'
Peer comment(s):

neutral abe(L)solano : a threshold is a limit. Here the temperature is being maintaned within a range.

neutral Jennifer Levey : Agree with abe(L)solano.

plateau or heating phase

Ironically I can't think of a better term that plateau.
Since they are speaking of heating/coooling ramps and then 2 heating phases at a constant (820ºC) or within an interval (460-650º) I think plateau will do it.
You can even use "heating plateau" (but this is quite obvious, seeing the temperature range).

See:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002954931...
Before each test phase the furnace was heated to 300 °C for 3  h, followed by heating plateau at 1050 °C for 10 h...

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
To address the first issue, a heating plateau test was carried out for the two samples

https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/FIKW-CT-2001-00132
after a medium-term heating phase at 100ºC under saturated conditions.

Thank, you Ilian!!
neutral Jennifer Levey : Your use of 'heating' is likely to generate confusion, given that other phases in the process involve chauffage. In this present phase, some heat may well be applied, but the material doesn't get hotter.//Nope :)

I have been working in labs all my life. Not confusing at all, since the others are called ramps but as I said in my answer, is implicit. So you're ok with "threshold' then?
agree FPC : Plateau is fine for me but there are also other terms I know and I propose (from my experience with military grade materials).

(high) temperature set point / (high) temperature dwell

see the attached MIL-STD for environmental stress screening of military grade equipment

the phase the temp is maintained is called the "dwell"
