Grain Size Module for Martensitic Structures

Automated grain boundary detection in martensitic steel at 50× magnification using Clemex Vision

The Grain Size Application Package for Clemex Vision leverages machine learning capabilities, including a special instruction for martensitic grains. The new automatic algorithm provides a fast, reliable, and accurate way of optically identifying challenging martensitic microstructures.

Advantages

Simple Workflow

The no-threshold method is a quick and easy way of detecting grain boundaries automatically.

Robust

Repeatable detection of grains without visible boundaries, even with light intensity variation.

Reproducibility

The method minimizes inter-operator variability and increases reproducibility.

Accurate

Successfully tested on hundreds of images in collaboration with a leading industry partner.

Fast Analysis

Once the parameters are set, the algorithm is deployed on each field of the sample at high speed.

How It Works

1. Set algorithm parameters

This is usually done once for each type of analysis. The algorithm is powerful enough to take into account light and shading variability. Adjustments are minimal.

2. Run analysis routine

Using our image analysis software is as easy as before. New instructions such as the Martensitic tool are seamlessly integrated into analysis routines.

3. Review your report

Results are available for review on-screen before saving in .xlsx or .pdf format. Data related to each grain can be individually traced and validated.
