The DGM Working Group Materialography on the Internet has made it its task to provide information and an uncomplicated discussion platform around the field of materialography based on the website https://www.pm-forum.info. This includes all microscopic characterization methods of materials, microscopic imaging as well as the quantitative description of the complex, spatial microstructure as well as the necessary preparation.
