PPT Slide
- Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
- Higher magnification, better resolution but good for only small regions in the material
- X-ray diffraction
- Bulk crystallographic texture, lacks local information
- Mechanical testing
- Tensile testing - MTS machine
- Microhardness - Vickers hardness tester
- Macrohardness - Brinell hardness tester
- Electrical testing
- Done using a four-point probe technique
