KnowraPrecipitation hardeningLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Precipitation hardening, each with the reason it gives.All 10Broader topic 2Related 5Compared with 3Solid solutionCompared with: It deliberately produces a second phase from a previously supersaturated solid solution.DislocationRelated: Precipitates hinder dislocation glide, raising the stress needed for plastic flow.AlloyBroader topic: Heat treatment can create precipitates that greatly increase an alloy’s strength.Ostwald ripeningRelated: Precipitate coarsening by ripening can reduce alloy strength during prolonged aging.Work hardeningCompared with: It strengthens alloys through particles rather than relying solely on deformation-created defects.Aluminum alloyRelated: It raises the strength of many heat-treatable aluminum alloys.Alloy steelRelated: Some alloy steels gain strength from controlled precipitation of alloy-rich compounds.DuraluminRelated: Fine precipitates obstruct deformation in aged duralumin.Grain boundary strengtheningCompared with: It provides a distinct, often combinable obstacle to slip.Heat treatingBroader topic: Aluminum and nickel alloys gain strength through controlled aging after solution treatment.
