The source text differentiates between Aufschmelzung and Anschmelzung. What would be the correct terms in English?
Here is the sentence from a patent application:
Ferner können *** An- oder Aufschmelzungen *** verwendet werden, die zu intermediären Verbindungen und/oder Mischkristallbildungen führen.

German term (edited):
Aufschmelzung/Anschmelzung
molten coating/partial melting
Although these terms look almost identical in German, they are in fact 2 completely different concepts:
anschmelzen = partial melting of the surface, i.e. base metal only
aufschmelzen = deposit a molten coating (e.g. spray coating), i.e. base metal + coating
The whole idea of this process is to change the microstructure of the surface layer (e.g. for hardening purposes).
