Mechanisms of Strengthening in Metals

Mechanisms of Strengthening in Metals

General principles. Ability to deform plastically depends on ability of dislocations to move. Strengthening consists in hindering dislocation motion. We discuss the methods of grain-size reduction, solid-solution alloying and strain hardening. These are for single phase metals. We discuss others when treating alloys. Ordinarily, strengthening reduces ductility.
