Metallurgy Study of Multiphase Material Using Nanoindentation

Metallurgy studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, as well as their intermetallic compounds and alloys. Metals undergoing working processes, such as casting, forging, rolling, extrusion and machining, etc., change their phases, microstructure and texture, which results in varied physical properties including hardness, strength, toughness, ductility, and wear resistance. Metallography is often applied to learn the formation mechanism of such specific phases, microstructure and texture.
