Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Abstract

Quantitative parameters of the microstructure (the density of grain boundaries and the fractal size of grain boundaries) that characterize the grain composition of the material are computed. The microhardness of a weld in determined. Analysis of the structural inhomogeneity of a welded joint of titanium alloy produced by electron-beam welding is performed.
