The study of the physical properties of metals, using metallurgical techniques such as microscopy. Metallographic samples are prepared by grinding, polishing and etching and are typically set into resin to aid examination and storage. The samples are then examined under a microscope where analysis of microstructure, material properties and quality can be carried out.
