Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting / Oil pipelines
Spanish term or phrase: slaiber
I am really not sure about this one.
This comes from an official Mexican government document that covers the repairs of oil pipelines.

This portion is refering to some of the potential defects in the metal:

Defectos metalúrgicos localizados (puntos duros, quemaduras, áreas de segregación de inclusiones y slaiber).

Surface defects are (i) lap which appears as seam across the surface of the metal... (vi) slivers which are prominent surface ruptures.
