Abstract

This chapter is structured into two main parts. Part 1 describes the fundamentals of the atomic (ideal) structure and (real) microstructure arrangement of solid matter. The way in which (metallic) materials are generated from the melt and the resulting phase diagrams for common binary systems are elucidated in the first part of this chapter (Sect. 4.1). In order to understand materials properties, microstructural characterization has to be carried out on various length scales. Therefore, in the second part (Sect. 4.2), the most common preparation steps for microscopy methods used in materialography are given. Next, basic micromethods for the investigation of the local chemical composition and local crystalline structure are outlined. This includes methodologies for the quantification of the complex microstructures in engineering materials.
