Italian term or phrase: in dolce
Dentatura peres. sbarbata in dolce


lavorazione in dolce


trattamento termico

This is for steel treatment in the manufacture of metal components such as gears and shafts.
I figure it is soft/hard treatment/processing, and varries in relation to the treatment performed (es. grinding).
Any confirmation, please?

TIA

mild/plain-carbon (steel)
Explanation:
I think it refers to the kind of steel used to work the piece:

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acciaio
"Il carbonio ... [conferisce] all'acciaio caratteristiche meccaniche migliori di quelle del ferro puro.
In base al tasso di carbonio gli acciai si dividono in:

* extra dolci: carbonio compreso tra lo 0,05% e lo 0,15%;
* dolci: carbonio compreso tra lo 0,15% e lo 0,25%...."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_steel#Heat_treatment
"Low carbon steel contains approximately 0.05–0.15% carbon[1] and mild steel contains 0.16–0.29%[1] carbon; making it malleable and ductile."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_steel
"Mild steel, also called plain-carbon steel.."
