deformations Explanation: I think this is general enough: change of shape caused by force (here most likely external, due to context) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2016-11-22 11:41:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "porosity, deformations, indentations and missing material" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2016-11-22 11:41:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Popřípadě "impressions" for "otlaky", but I would not choose this. |

indentations Explanation: "Otlak" is a mark left on an object when another object is pressed onto it. In the context these are very solid (presumably metal or alloy) objects, and on hard surfaces the best word to use is indentation. If the objects were made of soft material I would prefer to use "imprints". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-11-22 12:51:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Vryp" would be result of a sharp object hitting the surface resulting in some of the material being removed - this would be best translated as "chip". |
