Abstract
When the solubility of a material is exceeded by adding too much of an alloying element, a second phase forms and a two-phase alloy is produced. The boundary between the two phases is a surface at which the atomic arrangement is not perfect. In metals, this boundary interferes with the slip of dislocations and strengthens the material. The general term for strengthening by the introduction of a second phase is dispersion strengthening
