Metallogrphy and Micro Inter

Catalog description

Metallography and Microstructure Interpretation: Metallographic sample preparation and microstructural characterization for various metals, alloys and/or material systems. Use of the tools necessary for analysis including sectioning, mounting, polishing and etching using standard metallographic procedures. Metallographic samples prepared in class will be evaluated using stereomicroscopy, optical and scanning electron microscopy to aid with proper microstructural interpretation. Introduction to chemical analysis using optical emission spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence for positive material identification.
