This lecture covers the mechanisms of metal hardening, including solid solution hardening, hardening by precipitates, and work hardening. It explains how obstacles slow down dislocations, increase material resistance, and the importance of grain boundaries. The lecture also discusses the plasticity of polymers, ceramics, and concrete, as well as hardness testing methods for different materials.
