Abstract

Three-dimensional (3-D) microstructural characterization has proven to be indispensable for the thorough understanding of the often highly complex microstructures studied in materials science. However, most 3-D characterization techniques of opaque materials such as metals and ceramics are destructive and therefore prohibit 3-D studies of the dynamic microstructural evolution processes. In this paper we describe two complimentary techniques capable of nondestructive 3-D characterization and provide examples of the application of these techniques to investigate microstructural evolution processes in metallic systems.
