WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (TNSres) -- The National Science Foundation issued the following news release:
Researchers have directly observed the microscopic mechanism involved in "work hardening," a process by which materials like metals become stronger when deformed by hammering or stretching. The research provides a deeper understanding of how this process strengthens materials and could have wide-ranging impacts on material design and manufacturing, where work hardening techni . . .
