English term or phrase: crazing
Definition from Pro Plastics Inc.:
Minute lines appearing in or near the surface of materials such as plastics, usually resulting as a response to environment. Crazing cannot be felt by running a fingernail across if (if the fingernail catches, it is a crack).

Example sentence(s):
  • All concrete products and many natural stones, under varying conditions of moisture and temperature, are frequently subject to crazing. A manufacturer careful in proportioning of designs and watchful of compaction techniques and curing methods will minimize the likelihood of crazing as a result of manufacturing causes. Cast Stone Institute, Inc.
  • Crazing is generally undesirable; however, certain glazes, referred to as crackle glazes, are specifically composed to develop a controlled form of crazing. About.com
  • Crazing occurs when the surface of a moulding is stretched beyond its limit, due to localised surface stresses being too high at some time during moulding, finishing, or use. Performance Plastics Ltd

krakelering


Definition from Den store danske:
krakelere, (fr. cracqueler), slå fine revner.

Example sentence(s):
  • Dannelse af revner, fx i et eller flere lag i en lak/malingsopbygning, fx som følge af, at dette eller disse lag er magre (sprøde) i forhold til et eller flere underliggende, blødere lag. På træ løber revner i lakken, som er forårsaget af krakelering normalt vilkårligt i forhold til træets fiberretning. Må ikke forveksles med brag*, som altid følger træets fiberretning. - DMU
