Toughening typically refers to a process or technique used to enhance the toughness of materials, allowing them to absorb more energy and resist fracture or failure. This can be applied in different contexts, such as in materials science, engineering, and even in biological systems. ### In Materials Science: 1. **Metals and Alloys**: Toughening processes may involve altering the microstructure of metals or alloys through heat treatment, alloying, or mechanical work to improve their toughness.
