Knowledge Base information about metallographic / materialographic sample preparation

Materialography is an umbrella term for the compositional and structural study of metals. It includes a collection of sample preparation process steps as well as analysis techniques, such as macroscopic or microscopic examination.

The objective of metallography is to describe the structure of the sample qualitatively and quantitatively, i. e. the size, shape and distribution of the lattice structure defects and phase boundaries.

The exact metallographic preparation process depends on the material’s characteristics as well as the properties, composition, and heat treatment condition.
