At the end of this experiment, we comment that Metallography is one of the most
important part of physical metallurgy that enables us to guess the type of the material and it’s
physical properties from the microstructure by using an optical or electron microscopy. In
this experiment we saw how the microstructure is effect with some physical property changes
like carbon content and the addition of alloying elements or some processing techniques like
changing cooling rates and deformation type. Firstly, we observed that, to obtain a nice and
clear microstructure observation, this process should be done correctly and nicely. For
example, the grinding process has to remove the scratches and the polishing process has to
done excellently to smooth the surface and etching process. As a result, these changes in the
material’s properties and processing techniques are very important for the microstructure. So,
metallography is an important term in material science because of interpreting of
microstructure and it changes that effects the physical properties of materials.
