Preparation and Methods for Grain Size Measurements[Event Title]

By analyzing the grain structure of metallographic samples, we can make accurate predictions about their mechanical properties.

Larger grains will cause a decrease in both tensile and yield strength, and increase the metal’s percent elongation.
