Please guide how to study and analyze and characterize micro structure of CA6NM Steel? I have Pics at 100x, 200x, 400 x. i am a beginner and its my first time analyzing and characterizing the micro structure. from where i should begin and what key point i should look in pics?
Hi
as I know it is martensitic stainless steel. and, as John says can you put images, maybe we can help
see you

Hi Vibhu,
as the others have already said, micrographs will be helpful.
Anyway,keep in mind that you firstly should understand what kind of characteristics of the material to highlight (i.e. speaking in general terms,if you want to highlight a material's densification you should choose low magnification micrographs that show no porosity ecc.; if you want to analyze grain size or pore size, you should choose high magnification micrographs that clearly show grains or pores homogeneously distributed; and so on)
However, to be more specific about your steel, start thinking about the purpose of your micrographs.
A final suggestion (that could be obvious): if you are uncertain about what to observe on your material, do as much micrographs as you can at the whole range of permitted magnifications.
Regards
Luca
