Dilution
In fusion welding, the contribution of melted base material to the resulting weld-metal composition.
Material family: Coatings, inks and additives
Where it matters
Important when assessing weld overlays and dissimilar-alloy joints.
Testing and verification
A bulk chemical result may hide local differences; dilution alone does not establish corrosion suitability.
