Metallographic Microscope

Metallographic (metallurgical) microscope is used to study of the physical structure and components of metals and alloys.

Testing Method	Metallographic Microscope
Description	Metallography or metallurgy is the study of the structure of metals and alloys. Metallographic microscope can be used as a tool to help identify a metal or alloy, to determine whether an alloy was processed correctly, to examine multiple phases within a material, to locate and characterize imperfections such as voids or impurities, or to observe damaged or degraded areas in failure analysis investigations. In short, metallographic microscope can reveal a great deal about the past history of a metal specimen, and how it will act in service.
