Voxel-Based Porosity Analysis
Voxel-based porosity analysis is a method for accurately determining pores in a component. It uses 3D tomography data and provides precise volume data for fracture mechanics assessments.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
The method is based on the acquisition of tomography data that divides the component into many small voxels (3D pixels). This data is then analyzed to determine pore volume, distribution, and morphology.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Accurate determination of pores is crucial for the strength and behavior of the component under load. Too high porosity can lead to fractures or cracks, especially under high mechanical loads.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use specialized software to analyze the tomography data and extract pore information. The exact steps vary depending on the software used, but it is important to carefully review the data and interpret the results.
