Microstructural evolution refers to the changes that occur in the atomic and crystallographic structure of a material over time or under the influence of external factors such as temperature, pressure, or mechanical stress. This field of research involves studying how the grains, phases, and defects within a material rearrange and interact with each other, ultimately affecting the material's mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. By understanding the microstructural evolution of materials, researchers can develop new materials with improved performance and durability for a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics.
