Understanding the effects of manufacturing methods upon materials has driven constant innovation for over 300 years. While our ability to fabricate metallurgical wonders extends into the annals of history our ability to understand the scientific principles where process meets material has been pivotal to improving our capabilities. In this letter we briefly consider this history, comment upon the current state-of-the-art and, most importantly, propose new technologies for future industrial application which have been devised and exploited by the authors. It is hoped that this letter will allow other researchers to engage in this topic and facilitate the emergence of new processcompatible technologies which do not require destructive evaluation. This is particularly timely given the ability to manipulate microstructures with increasing dexterity. This is perhaps best illustrated in additive manufacturing [1] but is also a key consideration when process planning for machining [2], grinding [3] and forming [4].

通过先进的金属表征能力推动下一代制造

300 多年来，了解制造方法对材料的影响推动了不断的创新。虽然我们制造冶金奇迹的能力载入史册，但我们理解工艺与材料的科学原理的能力对于提高我们的能力至关重要。在这封信中，我们简要回顾了这段历史，评论了当前的最先进技术，最重要的是，提出了作者设计和利用的未来工业应用的新技术。希望这封信能让其他研究人员参与这一主题，并促进不需要破坏性评估的新工艺兼容技术的出现。考虑到人们能够越来越灵活地操纵微观结构，这一点显得尤为及时。这也许在增材制造 [1] 中得到了最好的说明，但也是加工 [2]、磨削 [3] 和成型 [4] 工艺规划时的一个关键考虑因素。
