Metallography of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Titanium and titanium alloys require precise metallographic preparation to accurately evaluate alpha case depth, grain structure, and other critical microstructural features. This work outlines optimized sectioning, mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching procedures that produce deformation-free surfaces for reliable microscopic analysis. Combined with LECO metallographic solutions and PAXIT imaging software, laboratories can improve quality control, process validation, and manufacturing consistency.
