Industrial Computed Tomography Reconstruction

Industrial computed tomography reconstruction creates a three-dimensional model from multiple two-dimensional X-ray images. It enables precise analysis of material structure and defects without destruction.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

The technique uses X-rays to penetrate different layers of a material. Each image shows a projection of the material from a certain angle. The computer reconstructs these images into a detailed 3D model.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

This technique is especially useful for analyzing weld quality, internal structures, and hidden defects. It can help identify cracks, pores, or inaccurate welding processes without destroying the material.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use CT reconstruction for detailed analysis of weld quality. Set up X-ray images from various angles and let the computer program generate the 3D model. Inspect the model for cracks, pores, or inaccurate structures.
