Practical Metallography
Über diese Zeitschrift
Practical Metallography is a bilingual (German-English) journal that informs you thoroughly on materialographic preparation, imaging and analysis of microstructures. The journal covers the development and improvement of metallographic methods and equipment, possibilities of optical and electron microscopy, spectroscopy, diffraction techniques, non-destructive testing, metallographic investigations of materials, problems of specimens preparation and evaluation including useful laboratory advice and recipes, failure analysis including damage detection and elimination.
All articles are subject to thorough, independent peer review.
Practical Metallography works closely with the German Society for Material Science (DGM - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V.).
