Phase Percentage and Carbon Content Estimation in Hypoeutectoid Steels by Image Processing
Phase Percentage and Carbon Content Estimation in Hypoeutectoid Steels by Image Processing
This Demonstration shows that performing image processing with Mathematica is not just easy, but extremely useful. In this case, we analyze the microstructure of two methallographic samples of hypoeutectoid steel, extracting the percentage of pearlite versus ferrite and, by applying the "lever rule", estimating the percentage of carbon in the steel alloy.
