Alloy hardening
Hardening of alloys is a technological process for processing alloys of chemical elements in order to increase their strength. Hardening methods share the following alloys: ▪ ▪ Recrystallization work hardening; ▪ Dispersion hardening; ▪ Martensitic transformation. Cobbled. As a result of hardening, the strength of the alloy rises, and its plasticity decreases. Before deformation, the crystal grains are substantially equiaxial shape and the grain after deformation is first drawn in the direction of applied forces, then crushed, because of which there is an increase alloy strength.
