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:
“Three elements go to make up an idea. The first is its intrinsic quality as a feeling. The second is the energy with which it affects other ideas, an energy which is infinite in the here-and-nowness of immediate sensation, finite and relative in the recency of the past. The third element is the tendency of an idea to bring along other ideas with it.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
