Intrinsic Toughening Mechanisms
Intrinsic toughening mechanisms involve a fundamental change of material properties like ductility and plasticity. These changes can be achieved by creating a more stable microstructure, or by increasing precipitate particle spacing to improve ductility.

Famous quotes containing the word intrinsic:
“It is not in our drawing-rooms that we should look to judge of the intrinsic worth of any style of dress. The street-car is a truer crucible of its inherent value.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
