Metals having _____ grains good creep

Chapter 7 - 44

Summary

Dislocations are observed primarily in metals

and alloys.
Strength is increased by making dislocation
motion difficult.
Strength of metals may be increased by:
-- decreasing grain size
-- solid solution strengthening
-- precipitate hardening
-- cold working
A cold-worked metal that is heat treated may experience
recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth its properties
will be altered.
