The principle of grain-size strengthening is to be explained. Also, its
Concept Introduction:
The method of increasing the strength of a material by altering their average crystalline size is known as grain-size strengthening.
Explanation of Solution
In a material, its grain boundary is considered invincible for the dislocations. These dislocations affect the stress buildup in the adjacent grain in the material and activate the dislocation sources and enable the deformation in the neighboring grain.
Changing the size of the grain by different means changes the number of dislocations which are there in that grain boundary.Thus, it increases the strength of the material.
At high temperatures, a small portion of this material with dislocated grain is subjected to solidification which generates crystal seeds and the rest of the material use this seed as template when they begin to solidify.
