Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Spanish term or phrase: Acritud
Talking about the strength of steel bolts, specifically the steel grade thereof...

Como consecuencia del proceso de fabricación en frío del mismo, esta resistencia no es homogénea a lo largo del eje, ya que al reducir la sección del cuello donde se aloja la grapa de expansión se produce un aumento de su resistencia ***por la acritud del material***

I can't see how the normal meaning of the word ("bitterness", "pungency" and so on) could apply to steel
