Microstructural Characterization of Metals and Alloys

Many new techniques are developed over the last three decades which have extended significantly the ability to investigate the microstructure of metals and alloys. This book, reprinted in 1986, serves as a guide to those techniques and procedures currently available which enable the microstructural metals and alloys to be characterized. The contents include; interaction of electromagnetic radiation with metals and alloys; visual metallography; structural metallography; chemical metallography; surfaces and interfaces; surface metallography; and applications.
