Abstract
In this chapter, we further discuss dispersion strengthening as we describe a variety of solid-state transformation processes, including age hardening and the eutectoid reaction. We also examine how nonequilibrium phase transformations — in particular, the martensitic reaction — provide strengthening. Each of these dispersion-strengthening techniques requires a heat treatment.
