# Metallurgical Analysis Skill ## Purpose The Metallurgical Analysis skill provides specialized capabilities for characterizing metallic materials through metallographic techniques, enabling systematic evaluation of microstructure, grain size, phase distribution, and inclusion content per industry standards. ## Capabilities - Metallographic preparation protocol selection - Etching reagent selection for different alloys - Grain size measurement (ASTM E112, intercept method) - Phase fraction quantification (point count, image analysis) - Inclusion rating (ASTM E45) - Banding and segregation assessment - Prior austenite grain boundary revelation - Weld microstructure evaluation (HAZ mapping) ## Usage Guidelines ### Sample Preparation 1. **Sectioning** - Select appropriate cutting method (abrasive, EDM, precision saw) - Minimize heat input to prevent microstructural changes - Identify orientation relative to processing direction 2. **Mounting** - Choose mount type (hot compression, cold setting) - Add conductive filler for SEM/EBSD samples - Consider edge retention requirements 3. **Grinding and Polishing** - Follow systematic grit progression (120 to 1200 to diamond) - Use appropriate

What does the metallurgical-analysis skill do?
Specialized skill for metallic materials analysis and metallography including grain size measurement, phase quantification, and inclusion rating
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill metallurgical-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
