This collection is one of six groups in Yamamoto’s standard microstructure set, specifically “Group 6: Surface Modification of Metals.” It comprises carefully prepared specimen pieces of various metallic materials that have undergone surface treatments such as carburizing, nitriding, oxidizing, coating, etc. Each piece is polished, etched, and documented in a manual with micrographs and metallographic explanations. Used for comparing actual microstructures, training students in sample preparation and microscopy, and calibrating observational standards.
Yamamoto Micro Structure Standard Kit
Want to see exactly what good surface treatments look like under the microscope? The Yamamoto Microstructure Kit Group 6 shows real samples with different surface modifications—like coatings, case hardening, or oxidation—complete with photos and explanations. Great for teaching, lab reference, or anyone who wants to understand how metal surfaces change under treatment.
