Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis

Aims & Scope

The journal Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis publishes original, peer-reviewed research articles on engineered materials, which are defined as both processed and inorganic.

The journal focuses on the art and science of preparing, interpreting, and analyzing microstructures for the purpose of understanding material behavior and performance, and serves as a forum for engineers and scientists to exchange the latest information regarding the evolution of microstructures in a variety of materials.

Topics focus on the role of microstructure in engineering processes and materials properties.

Specifically, the journal publishes contributions that discuss the ways in which microstructures can influence, or arise from: 1) Mechanical and thermal processing of metals, alloys, and ceramics 2) Environmental degradation (such as oxidation and corrosion) 3) Welding, casting, and solidification processes 4) Additive or digital manufacturing techniques 5) Failure of engineering structures, and 6) Electronic materials.
