Hardening Mechanism in Steel ‘Interstitial’ solid solution is substantial Strain hardening Martensite is hard (0.4 wt% C steel)
Iron or Non-Ferrous Alloys (1) • ‘Substitutional’ solid solution • Diffusionless process • Solid solution is hard to occur Martensite is not hard
Iron or Non-Ferrous Alloys (2) • Structural change - More closed packing • More slip planes More ductile
