Material characterization methods encompass a wide range of techniques, as detailed in various resources, including Wikipedia. While some methods listed may not be widely used, the comprehensive list provides insight into available options. Surface characterization techniques specifically focus on analyzing the material's surface, distinguishing them from methods that assess the bulk properties. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate technique for specific analysis needs. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the scope and application of various material analysis methods.

In Material Analysis Methods (Material Characterization), how possible to know if the methods are use or popular? I guess that the list published in the following links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_analysis_methods contains the full spectrum of material characterization techniques, but for sure some of them are not in use.!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Is the term "Surface Characterization Techniques" is the same as "Material Characterization Techniques"?
 
The clue is in the name. Surface characterisation techniques characterise the surface of a material. Other techniques may characterise the bulk material as a whole.
 

Thread 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
