Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003650
The structural features of a material, such as grain size, shape, and distribution of phases, observable under a microscope at magnifications greater than 25x. This structure significantly influences the mechanical and physical properties of metals and alloys. Microstructure is revealed by preparing and etching a polished sample.
