Dislocation - a defect in the crystalline lattice, it moves within the structure when stress is applied Pinning - When pinning occurs, the dislocation cannot move. This results in a harder, stronger, and more brittle material. Precipitates, entanglements, and grain boundaries can pin a material Plastic Deformation - When there is a permanent change in shape to the material due to stress Tensile strength - A measure of how much stress from pulling, or tension, a material can withstand before...
