  2. Precipitation hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_hardening

    Solution treatment and aging is sometimes abbreviated "STA" in specifications and certificates for metals. Two different heat treatments involving precipitates can alter the strength of a material: solution heat treating and precipitation heat treating. Solid solution strengthening involves formation of a single-phase solid solution via ...

  3. Solid solution strengthening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution_strengthening

    In metallurgy, solid solution strengthening is a type of alloying that can be used to improve the strength of a pure metal. [1] The technique works by adding atoms of one element (the alloying element) to the crystalline lattice of another element (the base metal), forming a solid solution .

  4. Heat treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical .

  5. Hardening (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardening_(metallurgy)

    In solution hardening, the alloying element does not precipitate from solution. Precipitation hardening (also called age hardening ) is a process where a second phase that begins in solid solution with the matrix metal is precipitated out of solution with the metal as it is quenched, leaving particles of that phase distributed throughout to ...

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  7. Annealing (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(materials_science)

    In metallurgy and materials science, annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness, making it more workable.

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag. The moment reminds his father of Patrick’s graduation from college, and he takes a picture of his son with his cell phone.

  9. Precipitation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_(chemistry)

    In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the "sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution". [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The solid formed is called the precipitate . [ 3 ] In case of an inorganic chemical reaction leading to precipitation, the chemical reagent causing the solid to form is called the precipitant .
