  "term": "Dendrite",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A tree-like crystal structure that forms during the solidification of molten metal, characterized by a central stalk and branching arms. These structures develop as the metal cools and solidifies from a liquid state. The size and morphology of dendrites influence the mechanical properties of the cast material, with finer dendrites generally indicating better strength.",
