laminations
Fused protective layers
Laminations are layers bonded together, or the process of creating them.
The word appears in manufacturing contexts where thin sheets are fused for strength or other properties: The laminations in plywood prevent warping.
In geology, laminations are thin sedimentary layers.
The term also describes damage where layers separate: moisture caused laminations in the veneer.
