MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION
Materials CharacterizationAn International Journal on Materials Structure and Behavior
Published in association with the International Metallographic Society, an affiliate society of ASM International®

Editor-in-Chief:
Chris Bagnall
See editorial board for all editors information





Description

Materials Characterization features original articles, state-of-the-art reviews and short communications on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.

The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.

This Journal provides the materials engineer with useful information on all types of materials; from metallic alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites to natural materials. At the same time, the interests of the materials scientist are catered for from the standpoint of the novelty of approach adopted and the underlying theme of explaining the behaviour of materials. In terms of materials covered, the scope ranges from archaeological materials to the most recent ceramics, polymer composites and space age alloys.
