Influence of microstructural parameters on mechanical properties

Microstructural Parameters: Grain size, phases, age hardening, dislocation
density, texture

Mechanical properties:

1. Tensile properties Youngs modulus, yield stress, UTS, fracture
stress, fracture strain, fracture mechanism

2. Fracture toughness crack propagation, crack deflection

3. Fatigue properties: Crack nucleation, crack propagation of short
and long cracks, crack closure, fatigue life
time

4. Wear Wear mechanisms, wear resitance
