Metallography and microstructure inspection
Assess grain size, phases, non-metallic inclusions and structural changes after processing.
How the analysis is performed
Grind and polish the sample, then etch if needed. Optical microscopy and image analysis yield quantitative measures; SEM with EDS clarifies inclusion morphology and composition.
