makrotekstur
Makrotekstur is a term used in Estonian-language technical literature to denote macrotexture, the texture of a surface or material observable at a macroscopic, or visually discernible, scale. It contrasts with microtexture, which refers to features only detectable by microscopy. Makrotekstur encompasses patterns such as grain orientation in polycrystalline materials, the alignment of fibers in composites, or the visible grain and relief of wood and rock surfaces. Because it concerns larger-scale features, makrotekstur is often assessed qualitatively through visual inspection and quantitatively by comparing the overall texture to reference directions or using nondestructive techniques that sample a broad region.
In materials science, macrotexture describes the macroscopic distribution of grain orientations, which can cause anisotropy in
Because makrotekstur is context-dependent, researchers define it with field-specific criteria and measurement methods. The concept helps
