Ferrite and Pearlite Content Analysis

Problem solved:
The solution is designed in order to  determine the content of ferrite and pearlite in low-carbon steels.

Solution:
Essential contrast operation is applied to equalize image intensity. The image is then transformed into binary with Threshold segmentation to reveal ferrite and grain boundaries. Pearlite grains are cleared from pores, small noises are removed. Then the image is opened to remove fragments of grain bounds. Small fragments are removed with Small particles removal operation. To check the precision of pearlite selection, the Apply mask of pearlite bounds operation is used.

Determined parameters:
For every field and every zone the following parameters are determined by an arbitrary number of view fields (images):

	Field Area
	Ferrite Content
	Pearlite Content
	Structure Grade

A report is generated, containing measurement results for every field and accumulation results for all fields.

This solution is ordered separately. Installed SIMAGIS® platform is required for the solution to function.
