  2. Hardening (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardening_(metallurgy)

    This phase is called martensite, and is extremely hard due to a combined effect of the distorted crystal structure and the extreme solid solution strengthening, both mechanisms of which resist slip dislocation. All hardening mechanisms introduce crystal lattice defects that act as barriers to dislocation slip.

  3. Drupe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupe

    In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin, and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a single shell (the pip (UK), pit (US), stone, or pyrena) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. Drupes do not split open to release the seed, i.e., they are indehiscent. [1]

  4. Hardened aircraft shelter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardened_aircraft_shelter

    Hardened shelters are expensive. In 1999, a hardened shelter for a single aircraft would have cost the USAF $4 million, [1] and this would not have included the cost of building hardened shelters for aircraft spare parts and other equipment, command and control etc. [1] Hardened aircraft shelters do not protect air force personnel.

  5. Hardening - Wikipedia

    Hardening is the process by which something becomes harder or is made harder.. Hardening may refer to: . Hardening (metallurgy), a process used to increase the hardness of a metal

  6. Hardened steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardened_steel

    The term hardened steel is often used for a medium or high carbon steel that has been given heat treatment and then quenching followed by tempering. The quenching results in the formation of metastable martensite, the fraction of which is reduced to the desired amount during tempering. This is the most common state for finished articles such as ...

  7. Pyrena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrena

    [2] [3] The hardened endocarp which constitutes the pyrene provides a protective physical barrier around the seed, shielding it from pathogens and herbivory. [ 4 ] While many drupes are monopyrenous, containing only one pyrene, pome -type fruit with a hard, stony (rather than leathery) endocarp are typically polypyrenous drupes, containing ...

  8. Anthracite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite

    Anthracite, also known as hard coal and black coal, is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic lustre.It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.

  9. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    At this point, the strengthening mechanism changes from dislocation-dominated strain hardening to growth softening and grain rotation. Typically, the inverse Hall-Petch effect will happens at grain size ranging from 10 nm to 30 nm and makes it hard for nanocrystalline materials to achieve a high strength.
