Microstructure analysis

Microstructure analysis involves examining the small-scale features within a material, such as the arrangement of grains, phases, and defects, often using microscopes. This analysis helps scientists and engineers understand a material's properties, how it was processed, and its behavior under stress. By studying the microstructure, they can predict durability, strength, and performance, as well as identify imperfections or qualities that influence the material's overall performance and suitability for specific applications.
