General principles. Ability to deform plastically depends on ability of dislocations to move. Strengthening consists in hindering dislocation motion. We discuss the methods of grain-size reduction, solid-solution alloying and strain hardening. These are for single phase metals. We discuss others when treating alloys. Ordinarily, strengthening reduces ductility.
