    I was looking for the english translation of "Temperung" (it is a production process of sheet metal...)
    and I found the word "to malleablize or malleableise" in a technical dictionary. The interesting thing is, when I type this word in Google, I do get some hits, but they were mostly sex sites! Now I am reaaally curious...:o)can anybody help me solve the mystery?

    tempern



    Context/ examples
    Found the word in the internet when I searched for "tempern". Webster's confirms:
    anneal: to heat and then cool (as steel and glass) usu. for softening and making less brittle.

    malleablize seems to be somthing like dethrone in French, mayby some slang word in Porn business. And Yes, malleablize is in LEO too, but I didn't hear it before.

    Thank you all for your help, anneal is the correct translation I think. In the meantime, I think I also solved the "sexy" connotation. From http://matse1.mse.uiuc.edu/~tw/metals/glos.html (a technical glossary, which is actually very useful and includes "annealing"), under malleable: "can be hammered into a sheet". So "to malleablize" should be some kind of porn slang for "to masturbate" ! Case closed, I think...
