Computed Tomographic Slice Reconstruction

CT slice image reconstruction creates three-dimensional models of internal structures through mathematical processing of X-ray-based images from different angles. It enables precise analysis of pores and volumetric defects without damaging the material.

Physikalisch-chemischer Wirkmechanismus

CT slice image reconstruction uses X-ray-based transmission measurements taken from various directions around the object. This data is then processed mathematically to create a three-dimensional voxel model that represents the internal structures of the material.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

This technique is especially useful in practice because it allows precise analysis within weld areas and material structure. It can help check weld quality by making pores, volumetric defects, or other anomalies visible. This is critical for the safety and service life of components.

Werkstattpraxis & Handlungsanweisungen

To use CT slice image reconstruction in the workshop, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the material: Make sure the material is clean and free of surface coatings to allow clear analysis.

2. X-ray imaging: Take X-ray transmission measurements from different angles. This requires specialized equipment and knowledge in X-ray imaging.

3. Data processing: Use software to mathematically back-project the data to create a three-dimensional model.

4. Analyze the result: Inspect the generated voxel model for pores, volumetric defects, or other anomalies and document the findings.
