what is meant by hardening ability of metals?..

Answer / Rahul Kumar Dwivedi

The hardening ability of a metal refers to its capacity to transform from a soft, ductile state (austenite) into a harder, more brittle state (martensite) through heat treatment. This process is called hardening and is often achieved by heating the metal above its critical temperature, followed by rapid cooling.
