N Newton Metric term for force. Newton-Meter Metric term for torque. Nick A small groove or notch. Usually, displacement of material rather than loss. O Overhaul That maintenance effort/service/action necessary to restore an item to a completely serviceable/operational condition as prescribed by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications. Overheating A condition indicated by discoloration of parts which usually results in a loss of hardness. Usually caused by lack of lubrication, malfunction of parts, or excessive wear. P Physical Method of inspecting parts requiring action. Pitting A material surface cavity, usually with def ned rough edges. Usually caused by rust and corrosion.
