Preparation and Methods for Grain Size Measurements

By analyzing the grain structure of metallographic samples, we can make accurate predictions about their mechanical properties. Smaller grain size means that the metal is less prone to plastic flow, while larger grains cause the metal to become more ductile. Larger grains will cause a decrease in both tensile and yield strength, and increase the metal’s percent elongation.
