microstructure Usage Examples
Converse of object
- produce: At cooling rates in excess of one million degrees per second, it is possible to produce predictable microstructure in alloys.
- control: Alloying elements can be used to control the bulk microstructure of a steel and hence its hardness.
- study: In fact, most researchers study microstructures that are in the range of 0.00001 mm to 0.01 mm.
- have: Natural soils have a different microstructure or structure to soils that are reconstituted in the laboratory.
- describe: Figure 2. a ) SEM image overview of the classification of scale microstructure described in this overview.
Adjective modifier

- 3d: Abstract Permanent 3D microstructures are created within a gel using holographic optical tweezers.
- complex: Nanoindentation is a fast and convenient way to quantitatively characterize the complex microstructures of plasma sprayed coatings.
- internal: Osteoporosis affects not just the bone mineral density, but also the internal microstructure of bone.
- different: Natural soils have a different microstructure or structure to soils that are reconstituted in the laboratory.
- ceramic: Stoichiometry, doping, defect chemistry and also ceramic microstructure often control ferroelectric properties in bulk materials.
Modifies a noun
