I am pleased to announce that an important new content update to the ASM Micrograph Database was recently made. The ASM Micrograph Database is a growing collection of micrograph images and associated data.
The emphasis of the collection is on micrographs for industrially important alloys. Information captured for each image includes material designation and composition, processing history, service history, metallographic preparation/technique, magnification, significance of the structures shown, selected materials properties data, and other relevant data. As of last month, a total of 4202 micrographs are displayed in the database.
Highlights of this release include:
- Select micrographs and associated data from Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis (MMA), the official journal of the International Metallographic Society (107 new records)
- Steels (Low Carbon, TRIP Steels, SDSS)
- Cu-Ag + Pb-Sn
- Mg-9Al
- AZ91D
- Co-29Cr-6Mo-0.22C
- Ni-21Cr-9Mo-4Nb
- ASTM A 36
- Alloy 718 with Rhenium
- Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb
- Wrought and cast iron micrograph images from the 19th century Akko 1 shipwreck (six new records)
- Carpenter Tools – D. Cvikel, Ben Artzi, D. Ashkenazi, N. Iddan, A. Stern, Y. Kahanov
- 12-pdr Cannonball – D. Cvikel, D. Ashkenazi, A. Stern, Y. Kahanov
- 32-pdr Cannonball – Y. Kahanov, E. Stern, A. Stern, R. Ronen, D. Cvikel, D. Ashkenazi
- Titanium micrographs (10 records) – Frauke Hogue FASM, Hogue Metallography
- Aluminum 7050-T73652 (six records) – Martine Banville, National Defence of Canada
IMS members play a key role in the maintenance of this important database. If you are interested in joining the Micrograph Review Board to assist in approving database submissions, email me directly.
