The properties of materials are determined by their microstructure and, to some limited extent, by their crystal structure. Bridging the gap between lecture and lab, this book presents methods to evaluate these crystal structures, microstructures, and properties. The author includes the background material forall of the experiments, offers worked-out examples to illustrate concepts, and provides suggestions for additional laboratory experiments. From theory to practice, the text provides complete coverage of x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, steel microstructures, heat treatment, hardness testing, tensile testing, impact testing, fatigue testing, and creep testing.
