Description
Particle size and spacing are crucial to understand the behaviour of steel. You can use the measurement of size and spacing with others like volume fraction and number density of particles in unit volume to characterise the crystal structure of a particular steel. This will help you to determine the extent of strengthening. In this module the particles characterisation technique will be explained. Then, the size and spacing effects will be treated. After that, the lattice parameter will be described and the relationship between the plane and volume will be mathematically expressed.
Finally, the crystal structure role will be explained.
What you will learn
- Explain the process of particles characterisation and measure the distance between particles;
- Identify the lattice parameter;
- Describe the crystal structure role.
