Alloys of all kinds are very important materials for industry (engineering, automotive, aviation, etc.).
Steel alloys have a wide range of mechanical properties that can be changed by further alloying or heat treatment. Metal alloys are composed of two or more metals. Non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium, zinc and precious metals such as gold, silver, mercury and tungsten are also used.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the ideal tool for characterizing particles during processing or ensuring homogenous production.
