6. Physical mechanisms of precipitation hardening
The precipitation sequences described above are accompanied by significant changes in the alloys' working properties. Among the physical and mechanical properties of prime importance to users, yield strength and hardness (Figure

) are particularly sensitive to the precipitation state. Structural hardening, which results from the precipitation of fine particles of metastable or stable phases, is also of particular...
