You Have to Think Small to Understand Metallurgy

(Apologies up front – I recorded this episode using the wrong microphone. So, the sound quality is fair. I’ll do better next time.)

There are microscopic structures and processes in metals that have large effects on metal properties, performance, and reliability. Being able to conceptualize these structures and processes goes a long way toward understanding the behavior of metals and the effects of mechanical processing and heat treating on metal properties. In this episode I discuss some of the microscopic structures and their effects on metal properties.

I also discuss recent projects and a bonus at the end – some details about my recent trip to Seward, Alaska
