Inclusion Measurement

2D automated SEM and 3D X-ray computed tomography study on inclusion analysis of steels

“…In order to effectively control this NMI content, it is critical to accurately identify them through appropriate characterizing techniques which would able to generate important information such as their maximum size, size distribution, morphology, shape and chemical compositions [3]. Depending upon the time required for analysis, and the size and the type of inclusions present [4], various techniques such as optical microscopy [5], ultrasonic testing [6], laser-induced spectrometry [7], optical emission spectroscopy [8], total oxygen content [9], confocal microscopy [10], and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [7,11] are currently employed for inclusion analysis.…”
