Definition of metallography in English:
metallography
noun ˌmɛtəˈlɒɡrəfiˌmɛdlˈɑɡrəfi
mass nounThe descriptive science of the structure and properties of metals.
Example sentencesExamples
- The austenite-pearlite reaction Pearlite is probably the most familiar micro structural feature in the whole science of metallography.
- Extremely careful metallography on tapered sections through the surface of the specimen has shown that fatigue cracks initiate at intrusions and extrusions.
- With the advent of metallography, and as the body of knowledge pertinent to cast iron increased, other classifications based on microstructural features became possible.
- It is built up of a number of crystals of the same composition, given the name ferrite in metallography.
- There are two important features of bainite kinetics which can be shown by a variety of techniques, e.g. dilatometry, electrical resistivity, magnetic measurements and by metallography.

adjective mɪˌtaləˈɡrafɪk

Example sentencesExamples
- The structural or metallographic condition having the maximum resistance to creep at elevated temperatures is produced by means of suitable heat treatment.
- The products of the transformation, whether ferrite, pearlite or bainite, are partly determined from isothermal diagrams, and can be confirmed by metallographic examination.

adjective mɪˌtaləˈɡrafɪk(ə)l
