A method of transferring impressions of the grain of wood to metallic surfaces by chemical action
Flat, polished sections of samples are examined under a microscope, typically at magnifications ranging from X50 to X1000 This is called metallography, and is used by grain refiner producers to assess quality
A substitute for lithography, in which metallic plates are used instead of stone
Study of the structure of metals and alloys, particularly using microscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques. Visual and optical microscopic observation of metal surfaces and fractures can reveal valuable information about the crystalline, chemical, and mechanical makeup of the material. In electron microscopes a beam of electrons instead of a beam of light is directed onto the specimen. The development of transmission electron microscopes has made it possible to examine internal details of very thin metal foils. X-ray diffraction techniques are used to study phenomena related to the grouping of the atoms themselves. See also materials science, Henry C. Sorby
