Microstructural Characterization of Materials, Second Edition is an introduction to the expertise involved in assessing the microstructure of engineering materials and to the experimental methods used for this purpose. In this integrated treatment of the science of microstructural characterization, the three main aspects of microstructural morphology, phase identification, crystallography, and microanalysis of the chemical composition, are all covered in detail. The principal methods of characterization, including diffraction analysis, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and chemical microanalytical techniques,are treated in full.
