Description
Theoretical strength; slip; twinning; deformation of single and polycrystals; dislocation multiplication; cross slip; climb; dislocation interactions. Strain hardening; solid solution hardening; age‐hardening; dispersion hardening; grain size strengthening; other strengthening mechanisms.
