Materials science method for metallic parts: processing-structure-property reasoning, metallic material classes, nickel superalloys as a family, microstructure description and measurement, heat treatment and material property claims, and the materials_scientist subagent.
Connect a stated heat-treatment schedule to the phase and microstructural change it actually produces, for both wrought and additively manufactured starting states.
Attach a material property to its measurement method, condition, and source class before it is used in a design or simulation decision.
Trace a processing route to the microstructure it produces and the properties that follow, keeping each link evidence-backed and bounded to its material system.
Apply the strengthening mechanisms, deformation behavior, and failure modes characteristic of a metal's crystal structure and alloy class before reasoning about a specific grade.
Describe a material's microstructure quantitatively (phases and fractions, grain size and morphology, texture, precipitates, defect population), measure it from optical, electron or EBSD images with preparation artifacts, calibration and sampling controlled, and connect it to the process that made it and the properties it controls.
Apply the strengthening-phase framework (gamma-prime, gamma-double-prime, solid solution), heat-treatment sensitivity, additive-manufacturing segregation and high-temperature service behavior of the nickel superalloy family. Grade-specific facts come from the scientist's data or cited sources, not from this skill.
