So I woke up this morning all pumped up to blog about metallography.    From Wordnik.com.  [MAKE Magazine] Reference

Advantage has been taken of a reprinting to revise, extensively, the portions of the book relating to the modern science of metallography.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Working of Steel Annealing, Heat Treating and Hardening of Carbon and Alloy Steel] Reference

Which fact also surprises me, by the way, because the equipment and techniques of metallography are very accessible to amateurs, especially relative to other modern methods of materials analysis.    From Wordnik.com.  [MAKE Magazine] Reference

If you don't already know, metallography is a type of scientific microimaging that involves mirror-polishing metal surfaces and then etching them with various reagents to reveal their microstructures, which are often of breathtaking beauty.    From Wordnik.com.  [MAKE Magazine] Reference
