Features: This book first briefly introduces the performance characteristics of metals, then focuses on the basic theories and methods of physical and chemical strengthening of metallic materials, including dislocation strengthening caused by deformation, grain refinement strengthening, precipitation strengthening (precipitation strengthening and dispersion strengthening), solid solution strengthening resulting from the interaction between dislocations and solute atoms, and interaction strengthening caused by different composition element contents. It summarizes a large number of empirical relationships between material properties and composition elements, discusses the laws and applications of element effects, and finally introduces the strengthening and toughening applications of more than ten typical alloys such as deep-drawing plate steel, high-strength steel, dual-phase steel, and refractory steel. This book has strong theoretical and practical value and can serve as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in material heat treatment and mechanical processing. It can also be used as a teaching material for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in metallurgy, material processing, and mechanical engineering.
