Abstract

The ASM Micrograph Database is a growing online collection of more than 4000 micrograph images and associated data, published by ASM International, in cooperation with the International Metallographic Society. Available on a subscription basis, the emphasis of the collection is on micrographs for industrially important alloys. Information captured for each image includes material designation and composition, processing and service history, metallographic preparation/technique, magnification, significance of each microstructure, selected properties data, and other relevant data. Users can search and browse the database to examine images, view typical and optimal structures, and compare the effects of alloying or heat treating regimes on microstructures. As the database continues to grow and evolve, it will reflect the newest processes and imaging techniques (additive manufacturing, 3D tomography, etc.), and expanded alloy coverage, with an increased emphasis on multi-scale microstructure representations.
