Metallography
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003619
The study of the microstructure of metals and alloys, examining their internal structure and composition. This involves preparing samples through polishing and etching, then analyzing them using optical or electron microscopy. Metallography reveals grain size, phase distribution, and defects, which influence material properties like strength and ductility.
