AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding micrographs of tin samples processed through various methods, specifically powder metallurgy, drawing, extrusion, rolling, and casting. The user has successfully located images for rolling and casting but struggles with the other processing techniques. Suggestions include searching academic journal articles for relevant metallographs, as these images are likely not widely available in the public domain. Recommended search strategies involve using terms like "metallograph," "micrograph," and "microstructure" in combination with "tin" or its chemical symbol "Sn," along with specific processing terms.

For a project I am working on, I need to find some micrographs of tin samples that have been processed in different manners so that I can compare and contrast the resulting microstructures.

I need to find tin (preferably pure) that has been processed by:

1. Powder metallurgy

2. Drawing

3. Extrusion

4. Rolling

5. Casting


I have found some images for 4 and 5, but 1-3 are proving difficult.

Does anyone have any good sources they would use?

thanks,
Casey

Any chance of getting any help on this one? This is not going so well.
 
I think that perhaps it will be difficult to find micrographs or metallographs of tin with those specific processing in the public domain. They would probably be found in journal articles relating to the specific microstructures.

One could use google to search for "metallograph" or "micrograph" with "tin","Sn" with terms like "cast","drawn", . . . .

Perhaps one can search for "microstructure","tin","{process}", where {process}=cast, drawn, powder or powder metallurgy or sintered.
