xenon n. colourless, odourless gas
used in electric luminescent tubes
to provide a bright light: a xenon
stroboscope for ignition timing is
strong enough to use in daylight.:
Khí xenon (dùng trong bóng đèn
súng cân lửa)
X-flow cylinder head n. = CROSS-
FLOW CYLINDER HEAD
X-type frame n. a frame design
shaped like an elongated letter X
that narrows to a strong junction at
the centre section; it usually has
three or more crossmembers to
provide torsional stability but

there are no crossmembers in the
centre section of the vehicle.:
Khung xe dạng chữ X
yaw v. to move or rotate about a
vertical axis: xoay quanh trục
đứng
 yaw acceleration = a steady
increase in the yaw angle: Gia tốc
xoay xe
 yaw angle = angle of deviation
between a vehicle's longitudinal
axis and its true direction of
motion, i.e. the difference
between the direction a vehicle is
pointing when cornering and the
direction in which it is actually
moving.: Góc đảo lái
Y-belt n. Y-shaped belt design
used to restrain babies in a baby
seat.: Dây đai dạng chữ Y (dây
đai an toàn cho em bé)
Y configuration n. Y-shaped
connection of the three stator
windings of an alternator: Các
cuộn dây pha nối hình sao trong
máy phát
Y-pipe n. (exhaust system) Y-shaped
down pipe connecting a two-
branch exhaust manifold to a
single exhaust pipe: Đầu ống pô

dạng chữ Y
Z-axle n. a rear axle introduced with
the BMW ZI in 1988, consisting of
a trailing arm, one upper lateral
link, one lower diagonal link, and
a coil spring at each side; also
included is an anti-roll bar: Cầu
trục sau dạng chữ Z
zebrano or zebrawood n. striped
hardwood used for interior trim as
a cheaper alternative to burr
walnut.: Gỗ ốp trong xe
Zener diode n. voltage regulator
diode in electronic ignition and
alternator output circuits.: Diod
Zener (diod điều chỉnh điện áp
trong mạch đánh lửa điện tử và
mạch ngõ ra máy phát)
zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) n.
vehicle which itself produces no
emissions, such as electric
powered vehicles.: Xe không ô
nhiễm (xe điện, xe hydro)
ZEV = ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE
zinc n. metallic element used in
galvanizing metals, die-casting, as
a constituent in various alloys, as
abattery electrode, etc.: Kẽm
 zinc alloy = alloy whose main
component is zinc: Hợp kim kẽm

 zinc bath = GALVANIZING

 zinc-electroplating =
ELECTROGALVANIZING: Mạ
kẽm bằng điện phân
 zinc immersion treatment =
pretreatment before electro-
plating; a thin zinc deposit forms
by immersion of aluminium in a
zinc solution which prevents
further oxidation of the aluminium
and provides a key for the
galvanic coating: Xử lý trước khi
mạ (ngâm vào dung dòch kẽm)
 zinc-iron alloy layer = alloy
layer formed on iron and steel
during hot-dip galvanizing as a
result of the diffusion of atoms
from the molten zinc into the work
and vice versa: Lớp hợp kim sắt -
kẽm (hình thành khi mạ nóng)
 zinc phosphate coating = zinc-
rich conversion coating produced

by phosphating: Lớp photphat
phủ ngoài kẽm
 zinc plating = application of a
zinc coating by galvanizing or
electrogalvanizing: Mạ kẽm
 zinc-rich paint / primer = paint
containing an extremely high
proportion of metallic zinc dust in
the dry film (about 95% by
weight), applied to iron and steel
as an anti-corrosive primer; the
application of zinc-based primer
may be regarded as a less durable
form of cold galvanizing.: Sơn
giàu kẽm/ chất dùng để sơn lót
zincrometal n. trademark of a special
type of coil-coated steel sheet
with plastic and zinc dust coating,
which is proving increasingly
useful in automobile manufacture:
Thép tấm phủ nhựa và kẽm
zinc spraying n. process for applying
zinc coatings to iron and steel.: Sự

zinc vapour deposition (ZVD) n.
process in which zinc vapour is
deposited in a vacuum on the
pieces being worked on.: quá

zirconia (ZrO

used in enamels and ceramic
coatings.: Zirconium oxide (hợp
