Which alloy composition,what process parameters? Inferring the recipe from optimized metallic microstructure and texture
The mechanical properties of a metallic alloy are set by its microstructure and texture: the size and shape of its grains and the orientation of their crystals. That structure is in turn set by a recipe, the alloy composition together with the processing parameters. Alloy development runs this chain forwards, tuning th …
