Grain Size

For metals, grain size is a measure of the areas or volumes of grains in a polycrystalline material, usually expressed as an average when the individual sizes are fairly uniform. Grain sizes are reported in terms of grains per unit area or volume, average diameter or as a grain-size number derived from area measurements.
