The Characterisation of materials is a key to determining the success, and at times failure, of the development of new and advanced materials. So, the study of materials characterization deals with understanding of the microstructure, chemical composition, the phases and precipitates present in a material. The explorations of the crystal structure of the elements in the phases and precipitates, the grain boundaries, and the matrix also forms a part of this material study. Over the last decades a number of techniques and tools have been developed to characterize materials in all the above aspects. This book, therefore, provides a direct description and fundamentals of the well-known characterization techniques based on X-rays, electrons and ions, to serve asa first-hand resource to students, faculty, and researchers, alike.
Key Features:
Indispensable text for undergraduate and postgraduate students in metallurgy, material science and mechanical, production and automotive engineering
Clear-cut descriptions, diagrams, examples and applications to support theories and techniques
Operational instructions of instruments and specimen handling are provided in great detail
Review questions at the end of each chapter
Key notes in ~Appe nd ices~ for quick recapitulation of analytical techniques
Useful reference for practicing engineers and analysts dealing with selection and failure analysis of materials, as well as for researchers to understand the principles and operations of modern analytical instruments used in materials characterization. ISBN 9789351070283
