The structure of a prepared surface of a metal as revealed by a microscope at a magnification greater than ten diameters The structure of polished and etched metal and alloy specimens as revealed by the microscope
Microstructure comprises the geometric elements of the microfabric e g grain size and grain shape
{i} tiny structure of a metal or alloy which can be observed under magnification; structure of any material or organism under magnification
The structure that is observed when a polished and etched specimen of metal is viewed in an optical microscope at magnifications in range of approximately x25 to x1500
the structural features of an alloy that are subject to observation under a microscope
Is a joint of grains (crystallites) and must not be confused with the constitution structure (lattice structure - unit cell) There are two terms for the identification of the microstructure of a pure metal: grain size and grain shape Pure metals have a homogeneous microstructure, because all crystallites have the same structure The grains are completely equivalent to one another with regard to their lattice structure and the type of atoms
The structure of polished and etched metal and alloy specimens as revealed by the microscope at magnifications over 10 diameters
the microscopic assemblage of grains, grain boundaries, amorphous phases, pores, and inclusions, that make up a material
