Ding Testing Inspection: Grain Size Grade Testing, Safeguarding the Delicate Microstructure of Metallic Materials

Grain size grade is a standardized method of assessing the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of metallic materials by measuring the size of their grains; generally, the finer the grains, the higher the material's strength and hardness. Ding Testing Inspection offers grain size grade testing services to professionally evaluate the impact of grain size on the performance of metallic materials, ensuring that material properties meet the high standards of industrial applications.

Service Introduction

The size of metal grains (or grain size) has a decisive impact on their mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperatures. The refinement of grain size is also considered one of the most important strengthening methods in the heat treatment of steel. Therefore, the estimation of grain size is crucial in metal property analysis.

Grain size is a measure of the size of grains in a metal. The size of grains in a metal significantly affects many properties of the metal. The impact of grain size is essentially the influence of the grain boundary area. The finer the grains, the larger the grain boundary area, and the greater the impact on properties. For the mechanical properties of metals at room temperature, generally, the finer the grains, the higher the strength and hardness, and the better the plasticity and toughness.

There are generally three basic methods for determining the average grain size: comparison method, area method, and intercept method.

Grain size grade can be represented by the average area or average diameter of grains. In industrial production, grain size grade is used to indicate the size of grains. Standard grain sizes are divided into 8 levels, with levels 1-4 being coarse grains and levels 5-8 being fine grains.

Generally, the larger the grain size (i.e., the finer the grains), the better. Grain size is a measure of grain size. Different methods of assessment or measurement of grain size are usually represented by length, area, or volume. The grain size grade index is used to represent grain size, which is independent of the measurement method and units used.

Industry Pain Points

The industry pain point is that the grain size of metallic materials significantly affects their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Inappropriate grain size may lead to substandard material properties, affecting the reliability and safety of products.
