2. Hardening (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

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

   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 cause resistance to slip dislocations. This is achieved by first heating the metal ...

3. Hardened steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardened_steel

   To examine a piece of steel, obtain a hand file and file an edge of the selected metal. If the piece of steel has not undergone the hardening process, the metal file should easily 'bite' into the sample. If the metal has been hardened, the file fails to cut into the sample and glances off with little visible effect.

4. Solid solution strengthening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution_strengthening

   Surface carburizing, or case hardening, is one example of solid solution strengthening in which the density of solute carbon atoms is increased close to the surface of the steel, resulting in a gradient of carbon atoms throughout the material. This provides superior mechanical properties to the surface of the steel without having to use a ...

5. Precipitation hardening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_hardening

   Precipitation hardening, also called age hardening or particle hardening, is a heat treatment technique used to increase the yield strength of malleable materials, including most structural alloys of aluminium, magnesium, nickel, titanium, and some steels, stainless steels, and duplex stainless steel.

6. Hardenability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardenability

   The hardenability of a ferrous alloy is measured by a Jominy test: a round metal bar of standard size (indicated in the top image) is transformed to 100% austenite through heat treatment, and is then quenched on one end with room-temperature water. The cooling rate will be highest at the end being quenched, and will decrease as distance from ...

7. Case-hardening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-hardening

   Case-hardening or carburization is the process of introducing carbon to the surface of a low-carbon iron, or more commonly a low-carbon steel object, in order to harden the surface. Iron which has a carbon content greater than ~0.02% is known as steel .
