metallography

listen to the pronunciation of metallography
İngilizce - Türkçe
İngilizce - İngilizce
The study of the structure of metals and their alloys, by any of a variety of techniques
{n} a description of metals
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
the study of various steel microstructures as seen through a microscope
The science concerning the constituents and structure of metals and alloys as revealed by the microscope
The science or art of metals and metal working; also, a treatise on metals
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
