than one that has not been through cold hardening before. Light doesn't control the onset of cold hardening directly, but shortening of daylight is associated

In computer security, hardening or system hardening is usually the process of securing a system by making it a 'hard target' by reducing its attack surface

Induction hardening is a type of surface hardening in which a metal part is induction-heated and then quenched. The quenched metal undergoes a martensitic

Work hardening, also known as strain hardening, is the process by which a material's load-bearing capacity (strength) increases during plastic (permanent)

into the surface. Different depths of hardening are desirable for different purposes: sharp tools need deep hardening to allow grinding and resharpening

The strain hardening exponent (also called the strain hardening index), usually denoted n {\displaystyle n} , is a measured parameter that quantifies the

point, all dislocation related hardening mechanisms become irrelevant. In work hardening (also referred to as strain hardening) the material is strained past
