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:
“To have that sense of one’s intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
