English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallography
DEF

the arrangement of the particles or constituent parts of any material, metal.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallographie
DEF

Constitution d'un agrégat polycristallin dont les cristaux (ou grains) constitutifs ne sont pas orientés aléatoirement dans l'espace.

CONT

Structure atomique (...) Dans le cas d'un métal pur, les grains ont des formes et des tailles voisines, mais des orientations variées (...) Lorsque les grains ont des orientations privilégiées, on dit que le métal possède une texture et ses propriétés ne sont alors plus isotropes.

OBS

Un agrégat polycristallin (métal, roche, polymère, etc.) sera (...) globalement isotrope si les cristaux qui le constituent sont très nombreux et orientés au hasard; dans le cas contraire, le matériau est dit "texturé"; il est alors globalement anisotrope.
