The process of converting a material into ferrite form, or the development of ferrite crystal structure in steel or iron alloys.
From 'ferrite' (noun) with the suffix '-ization' from Latin '-izare,' meaning 'to cause to become.' Used in metallurgy to describe crystal structure transformation.
Ferritization is how metallurgists tune the properties of steel—by carefully heating and cooling, they can encourage different crystal structures to form! This is why blacksmiths and steel makers always talk about temperature—it's literally changing the internal arrangement of atoms.
