Published: 1984 (Formerly published by McGraw-Hill)
Format: Hardbound

Offering a comprehensive source of information on metallographic techniques and their application to the study of metals, ceramics, and polymers, this work is available once again from ASM. It contains an extensive collection of micro- and macrographs. This proven reference for metallographers, engineers, technicians has also been found useful by students studying physical metallurgy, metallography and materials science.

Contents cover: macrostructure, specimen preparation for light microscopy; microstructure; light microscopy; hardness testing; quantitative microscopy. The volume features several appendices listing etchants and specimen preparation procedures and also includes a comprehensive index.

The book was written by George F. Vander Voort, FASM, a leading expert in metallographic practice.
