Using Various Methods of Imaging and Visualization for Studying Heterogeneous Structures at Micro- and Nanoscales

Abstract

This scientific work justifies imaging and visualization methods for analyzing heterogeneous PA-1 structures at micro- and nanoscales. It explores a key aspect of studying heterogeneous materials, namely the relationship between their microstructure and macroscopic behavior. Using Smart-EYE software, the microstructure and heterogeneous structure of PA-1 aluminum powders are justified through a range of factors. Among them, the extended functionality of the program allows for detailed analysis of particle sizes, shapes, and distribution, ensuring high accuracy and reliability of the analysis results. The capability for quick and efficient analysis of large volumes of data is also highlighted. Additionally, the software enables visualization of analysis results, simplifying their interpretation. Furthermore, the obtained results based on the histogram of particle size distribution, such as normal distribution, skewness, and modality, help avoid minor data defects and ensure proper interpretation.
