Solidification of Polycrystalline Materials (With Diagram) | Metallurgy

In this article we will discuss about the solidification of polycrystalline materials with its schematic diagram. A space lattice is formed by adding unit cells one after the other in three dimensions. It is possible to produce a macroscopic visible piece of a metal, formed by repetition of unit cells of crystal structure of that metal in three dimensions of [...]

Widmanstatten Structure of Steels: Formation and Control | Metallurgy

In this article we will discuss abour the formation of widmanstatten structure of steels. Also learn about the factors controlling its formation. Formation of Widmanstatten Structure of Steels: If a coarse-austenite grained steel is cooled fast but less than its critical cooling rate, then a typical micro-structure develop called widmanstatten structure. (See Fig. 2.38, a typical micrograph illustrating this structure, [...]
