👉 "Indurated" is a term used in the field of materials science and engineering to describe a material that has been subjected to intense stress and strain. This process can occur during manufacturing, construction, or other industrial processes where the material must withstand high loads for extended periods. The term "indurated" refers to the fact that the material undergoes significant changes during its life cycle. It is characterized by changes in properties such as density, porosity, microstructure, and strength over time
