age hardening [‚āj ′härd·ən·iŋ]

(metallurgy)

Increasing the hardness of an alloy by a relatively low-temperature heat treatment that causes precipitation of components or phases of the alloy from the supersaturated solid solution. Also known as precipitation hardening.

age hardening

An aging process in certain metals, at room temperature, which results in increased strength and hardness.
