Phase Identification by Selective Etching

Metallography: Principles and Practice discusses metallographic techniques and their application to the study of metals, ceramics, and polymers. The book concentrates on techniques relevant to visual and light microscopy. Topics include macrostructure, specimen preparation for light microscopy, microstructure, light microscopy, hardness testing, and quantitative microscopy. An extensive collection of macrographs and micrographs is presented to illustrate the various methods discussed and to provide examples of their application to various materials. Appendices including etchants and specimen preparation procedures are included. For information on the print version, ISBN: 978-0-87170-672-0, follow this link.
