Description
Current theories of Solid Solution Hardening make reference to some of the differences in atomic character discussed, but so far only the following have been fully included:
Compressibility;
Chemical Valency Differences;
Size Factor. In this module the different mechanisms of solution hardening will be explained. In particular, the mechanisms of compressibility, chemical valency differences and size factor will be introduced.
After that, the strength increase and solute relationship will be studied. Then, the shear modulus will be analysed, too. Finally, electronegativity will be evaluated.
What you will learn
- Explain the following concepts:
Mechanisms;
Shear Modulus;
Electronegativity.
