Artifact Reduction in Industrial Tomography
Artifact reduction in industrial tomography suppresses beam hardening and scatter effects in CT scans to ensure error-free grayscale analysis on multi-material components.
Physicochemical mechanism of action
Beam hardening and scatter can cause artifacts in CT scans by affecting image quality. Artifact reduction corrects these effects through hardware adjustments and software filters.
Metallurgical relevance & risks in welding
When inspecting multi-material components, high image quality is essential to detect material boundaries and defects. Artifacts can cause misjudgments in material identification and analysis, posing risks to the safety and functionality of the components.
Shop practice & action instructions
To implement artifact reduction, one should:
1. Calibrate the CT scanner hardware to optimal settings.
2. Activate software filters for reducing beam hardening and scatter.
3. Perform regular calibrations and checks of image quality to ensure artifacts are minimized.
