Abstract

Metals can be strengthened by work-hardening because the large numbers of sessile dislocations created during plastic deformation make it increasingly more difficult for mobile dislocations to move through the lattice. There is, however, a limit to the amount of strengthening which can be achieved by work-hardening and, as solute atoms also produce very efficient obstacles to dislocation motion, solution-hardening is usually a more effective method of increasing a metal’s resistance to plastic deformation. In some alloy systems, solute atoms also extend the temperature range over which a certain crystal structure is stable, a particularly relevant example being the stabilization by nickel of the high-temperature fcc (γ) phase of iron to produce austenitic stainless steel.
