Microstructural Characterization of Materials

  • CRM Group - ACCS Allée de l'Innovation 1, Sart Tilman Campus, Building B57, Polytech 3 District 4000 Liège Belgium (map)

Methods for characterizing mechanical properties were reviewed at the previous Technical Seminar. Since these properties are closely linked tothe structural state of materials, this seminar naturally focuses on metallographic examination methods.

 As with mechanical tests, these examinations can serve two purposes:

  • To verify that a material, heat treatment, or surface treatment complies with the requirements of a standard. This generally involves micrographic examinations to verify the structure, grain size, inclusion-free condition, or the depth of a thermochemical treatment or surface coating.

  • To study the structure of materials in order to analyze the causes of failure or contribute to R&D efforts related to the development of new materials or processes. In such cases, more sophisticated techniques covering scales ranging from millimeters to nanometers—typically employed by specialized laboratories—may be used.

This workshop will provide an overview of the principles and objectives of metallographic examinations, discuss their current applications in industry and R&D, and present the latest investigative methods.
