*
Cementation (geology)
Minerals bond grains of sediment together by growing around them. This process is called cementation and is a part of the rock cycle.
Cementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material b ...
, the process of deposition of dissolved mineral components in the interstices of sediments
*
Cementation (medical), a small deposit of calcium, similar to a cyst
*
Cementation (metallurgy)
Cementation is a method for obtaining metals from solutions of the metal ion. It is a type of precipitation, in which ions are reduced to zero valence at a solid metallic interface. A cementation step often follows leaching.

Cementation process
The cementation process is an Obsolescence, obsolete technology for making steel by carburization of iron. Unlike modern steelmaking, it increased the amount of carbon in the iron. It was apparently developed before the 17th century. Derwentcot ...

Carburization
Carburizing, or carburising, is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon while the metal is heated in the presence of a carbon-bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide. The intent is to make the metal harder ...
, a process for surface hardening of low-carbon steel
