Interpretation:
The properties of the precipitate phases due to which they are used in precipitation hardening needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The precipitation hardening is termed as age or particle hardening. It is a technique involving the heat treatment of malleable materials to increase their yield strength. The materials are generally structural alloys of magnesium, aluminum, titanium, nickel and few sheets of steel or stainless steels. It makes the metal to become stronger. In the beginning of the process, uniformly dispersed particles are produced within a metal's grain structure which helps hinder the motion and strengthen it if specifically, the metals are malleable.
