INTRODUCTION - Lesson 3
This is the third lesson in a set of images
prepared by me that demonstrate
metallurgical
microstructures found in the M.I.T. specimen collection. These
microstructures are more complex than those shown in the first two
groups. Compare
them carefully, and use the phase diagrams to interpret the squence of
treatments or phase changes. |
| Allow plenty of
time to study and to take good notes about each specimen. About
two hours per lesson would be appropriate. You will be expected
to interpret some of these specimens during the final
examination. Feel free to use the Internet to find additional
information about the alloys and applications mentioned here. |
| Whenever the
narrator asks a question, be sure to commit yourself to an answer

browser's BACK button at any time, of course. Just be sure to click
the FORWARD button to return to the proper page before proceeding so
