Explore how metals are built from the inside. This classic guide shows how microscopical analysis reveals the structure of steels and other alloys, helping you identify their components and history from the inside out.
Originally translated into English and edited to include the author’s latest work, this edition combines clear explanations with hundreds of photographs. You’ll find practical guidance on specimen preparation, polishing, and polishing-attack techniques, along with a detailed overview of key microconstituents such as ferrite, cementite, pearlite, sorbite, martensite, and austenite. The book also presents a method to isolate cementite and interpret micrographs, supported by a wealth of plates and diagrams.
- Step-by-step guidance on preparing samples and producing meaningful micrographs.
- Discussion of the main constituents found in steels and their microstructural forms.
- Insights into how cooling, annealing, and quenching affect the metal’s internal structure.
- Extensive visual references: about 100 photographic illustrations and two folding diagrams.
Ideal for students, researchers, and practitioners in metallurgy and materials science who want to understand metal structure through microscopy.
