Work Hardening and Annealing of Brass

    Handout          Brass Microstructure Pictures          Lab Report Format          Grading Criteria

For this lab you will present your results using the SHORT REPORT format.  The main difference between a short report and a full, formal report is that a short report holds no sections for "Introduction" or "Procedure". These topics can be BRIEFLY discussed at the beginning of your "Results & Discussion" section.

THE SHORT REPORT FORMAT is described in detail beginning on page 4 of the MSE Lab Report Formats.  This should be your primary reference as you prepare your report.

You may also refer to the lab GRADING CRITERIA for additional guidance.

Finally, be sure to address in your report any and all questions posed in the lab handout.
