Precipitation hardening is a process that using very high temperature to strengthen an object such as , metal alloy and aluminium , precipitation hardening process also referred to age hardening . There are three main process that involve in Precipitation Hardening , the first process is Solution Treatment , second process is Quenching , and thirdly is Aging . On the other hand , Dispersion strengthening only have two process which is aluminium alloys made by powder metallurgy are used in the nuclear power field for sheathing fuel rods , and also used for heat exchanger tubing and high temperature turbine blades . It is presently receiving significant attention in the design of a variety of advanced power generation and aerospace devices , such as interactive components in magnetic confinement fusion reactor , rotating –source neutron targets , rocket nozzles , combustion chamber liners and combustor walls and leading edges . These applications require materials with a high thermal conductivity in combination with a high elevated temperature strength in oxygen or hydrogen .

Precipitation hardening , or age hardening is one of the mostly used mechanism for strengthening of metal alloys . Creating precipitation hardened materials starts with heating the material to av very high temperature in order to dissolve the precipitation . It takes around 1 to 20 hour for the precipitate to dissolve completely . As I mention just now , there are three basic steps involve during precipitation hardening process . The first step of the process is solution treatment , this process is where the aluminium alloy are heated at a very high temperature and soaked until a homogeneous solid solution is produced . Secondly , Quenching is...

...and between planes that are far apart . Planes with a high planer density fulfil this requirement . Therefore , the slip planes are typically close-packed planes or those as closely packed as possible . Dislocations do not move easily in material such as silicon , which have covalent bonds . Next , the strength and directionality of the bonds , the materials typically fail in a brittle manner before the force becomes high enough to cause appreciable slip . Dislocation also play a relatively minor role in the deformation in polymers primarily involves the stretching , rotation , and disentanglement of long chain molecules .
Material with ionic bonding , including many ceramics such as MgO , also are resistant to slip . Movement of a dislocation disrupts the change balance around the anions and cations , requiring that bonds between anions and cations be broken .
3D printing is primarily for rapid part prototyping and small-run production in a variety of industries. In the meantime, the term additive manufacturing has come to represent the use of 3D printing to create metallic components and final parts, differentiating from conventional subtractive manufacturing processes. 3D printing uses computer-generated designs to create build paths that reproduce a digital model through consolidation of materials with an energy source. The process typically uses a laser, a binder or an electron beam that solidifies material as it is directed along scanned over a pre-placed layer or the build path of material. This method has been used successfully with metals, polymers and ceramics. Metals are still in their infancy in terms of finished part production. Metallic parts produced with 3D printing frequently require additio...
We use metals to construct all kinds of structures, from bridges to skyscrapers to elevators. The strength as well as durability of materials that are crafted out of metal make the materials ideal not only for construction but also for many other applications.

The behavior of every material composite substance is either completely deterministically caused by the nature of the material parts making it up or is partially randomly caused.
For best performance in flame retardancy without deteriorating the mechanical properties (tensile strength), the optimum ratio of APP/MEL was found to be 3:1 with loading of 30%. Besides this the incorporation APP and/or APP and MEL into composites promoted the char formation and correspondingly improved the thermal stability [79].

The machinability of copper and copper alloys is improved by lead, sulfur, tellurium, and zinc while it deteriorates when tin and iron are added. Lead in brass alloys with concentrations around 2 wt%, improves machinability by acting as a microscopic chip breaker, and tool lubricant, while they increase the brittleness of the alloy [17]. Lead additions are used to improve machinability. The lead is insoluble in the solid brass and segregates as small globules that help the swarf to break up in to small pieces and may also help to lubricate the cutting tool action. The addition of lead is however, affect cold ductility which may control both the way in which material is produced and the extent to which it can be post-formed after machining
A wide variety of coating alloys and wrought alloys can be prepared that give the metal greater strength, castability, or resistance to corrosion or high temperatures. Some new alloys can be used as armor plate for tanks, personnel carriers, and other military vehicles.

As air rises it also cools making the moisture condense and form clouds and precipitation ahead and along the cold front. If the air is lifting along a warm front then the upward motions along the warm front are typically stronger with more energy and produce deeper clouds which are what makes the rain harder and thunderstorms possible. Although these bands are stronger they are also quicker and narrower.
The basis for the understanding of the heat treatment of steels is the Fe-C phase diagram. Because it is well explained in earlier volumes of Metals Handbook and in many elementary textbooks, the stable iron-graphite diagram and the metastable Fe-Fe3 C diagram. The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop, especially in the low-temperature and low-carbon range, and therefore the metastable diagram is of more interest. The Fe-C diagram shows which phases are to be expected at equilibrium for different combinations of carbon concentration and temperature. We distinguish at the low-carbon and ferrite, which can at most dissolve 0.028 wt% C at 727 oC and austenite which can dissolve 2.11 wt% C at 1148 oC. At the carbon-rich side we find cementite. Of less interest, except for highly alloyed steels, is the d-ferrite existing at the highest temperatures. Between the single-phase fields are found regions with mixtures of two phases, such as ferrite + cementite, austenite + cementite, and ferrite + austenite. At the highest temperatures, the liquid phase field can be found and below this are the two phase fields liquid + austenite, liquid + cementite, and liquid + d-ferrite. In heat treating of steels the liquid phase is always avoided. Some important boundaries at single-phase fields have been given special names. These include: the carbon content at which the minimum austenite temperature is attained is called the eutectoid carbon content. The ferrite-cementite phase mixture of this composition formed during cooling has a characteristic appearance and is called pearlite and can be treated as a microstructural entity or microconstituent. It is an aggregate of alternating ferrite and cementite particles dispersed with a ferrite matrix after extended holding close to A1. The Fe-C diagram is of experimental origin. The knowledge of the thermodynamic principles and modern thermodynamic data now permits very accurate calculations of this diagram.

In order to learn how glass fractures, we must first learn the composition of glass and the different types of glass. Glass is a hard, brittle, amorphous substance composed of sand (silicon oxides) mixed with various metal oxides. When sand is mixed with other metal oxides, melted at high temperatures, and then cooled to a rigid condition without crystallization, the product is glass (Saferstein, 2010). Glass can come in many different forms all of which can range from very brittle glass to bullet proof glass; the stronger the glass, the more ingredients are required and the more complex the process is.
Due to the fact that rocks are composed of high intensity of elastic and brittle material, they therefore store considerable amount of strain energy that results from elasticity, during the action of plate tectonic. The brittleness leads to development of concurrent cracks on the rocks as a result of plate’s action.
Toughness is the ability of a metal to mutilate plastically and to absorb energy in the process before it breaks or fracture. Metals can be heat treated to alter the properties of strength, ductility, toughness, hardness or resistance to corrosion. This can be done by using heat treatment processes which include precipitation strengthening, quenching, annealing and tempering. Annealing and tempering are the most prominent methods for treating metals. A material may become more or less brittle, harder or softer, or stronger or weaker, depending on the treatment used.
