This is merely the solidified secretion from the sebaceous gland.
The two first ingredients form a semi-fluid mass, which the lycopodium does not absorb, but which is solidifiedby means of the tragacanth.

The rock of the intrusive masses is coarsely crystalline, and no doubt solidified slowly under the pressure of vast thicknesses of overlying rock, now mostly removed by erosion.
When the ingots had so far solidified that they could be handled, the moulds were removed and set on the floor to cool, the ingots were set on a car and carried to the soaking furnace, and the moulds were then replaced in the casting pit.
If it differs widely from the eutectic in composition, then when solidified it consists of only a small quantity of eutectic and a very large quantity of the excess metal.
If the alloy has a composition very near that of its own eutectic, then when solidified it of course contains a large proportion of the eutectic, and only a small proportion of the excess metal.
Here, as soon as the ingots have so far solidified that they can be lifted without breaking, their moulds are removed and set on an adjoining train of cars, and the ingots are charged directly into the soaking furnace.
Gjers did this by setting the partly-solidified ingot in a well-closed "pit" of brickwork, preheated by the excess heat of previous lots of ingots.
We were now upon a conglomerate of bespattered lava-drops encased in a coating of solidified ashes.

Hence, as has been heretofore stated, a given block of solidified water is lighter than the same bulk would be in the fluid state, and this is the reason why ice floats.
If used immediately after stripping, the semi-solidified outer crust would crush and the still fluid inner portion would run out.
In a surprisingly short time the surface of the metal becomes sufficiently solidified to permit “stripping,” or removing of the mould, and we have an ingot, which is steel in its first form.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "solidified" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
