Precipitation hardening is a heat treatment method used to enhance the mechanical properties of alloys. This technique is based on the principle of forming second-phase particles (precipitates) within the alloy matrix by first dissolving the alloy at high temperature, rapidly quenching it (e.g., in water), and then holding it at a specific temperature (aging). Precipitates significantly increase the material’s yield and tensile strength by impeding dislocation motion during deformation. Historic
