The properties of metallic materials are largely determined by their microstructure, i.e. by the relative amounts and by the arrangement of the phases that make up the microstructure. This fact has not been given the full attention which might seem due to it because, in the development of alloys, metallurgists have concentrated most on the properties of the separate constituents, less on the amount of these constituents and least of all on the disposition of the alloying elements in the final structure A simple illustration of the above remarks can be found in the case of cast iron, an alloy of iron and graphite.
