3. Experimental methods for studying structural precipitation

3.1 Optical metallography and microscopy

Note :

For further information, please refer to Métallographie and Heat treatment of aluminum alloys [M 1 290] .

In practice, optical microscopy is only used to visualize coarse precipitation on samples that have been polished and then attacked with specific acid reagents. The images obtained are those of etching figures, rich in information on the distribution...
