Better understand the properties of your metals and alloys in a faster way

Whether you are developing new alloys or working to improve materials’ properties, you need to be able to increase the accuracy, reproducibility, and speed of the characterization of precipitates and inclusions in metals. Once you do, you can easily achieve trusted results, allowing you to manufacture better materials. However, this involves manual, time-consuming processes that require a high level of image processing expertise.

Thermo Scientific Avizo Software is a versatile analytical solution that provides a high level of accuracy in a fully or semi-automated way for multiple modalities in a single environment. It allows you to dramatically improve your productivity and output on inclusions and precipitates by allowing more people to analyze more samples in a powerful and efficient way—from a single environment.

Avizo Software includes advanced segmentation and quantification tools that allow you to combine various proven segmentation tools, each adding to the previous one for better accuracy. To reduce user bias and ensure your results remain objective, you can design and run repeatable QC workflows to optimize your production processes.

    Scientific use cases using Avizo Software

    What is Avizo Software for characterization of metals and alloys?

    During this introductory webinar, you will learn how to:

    • Go from segmenting a dozen particles a day to several hundred 
    • Increase the number of analyzed samples through automation 
    • Remove barriers caused by adopting multiple solutions for day-to-day analysis 
    • Design materials faster and spot weaknesses earlier 
    • Reduce scrap parts and enhance yield; optimize recycling of powder 

    The webinar duration is approx. 20 minutes. The live webinar was followed by a Q&A (question and answer) session. All questions and answers are accessible in the FAQ section.

     

    Techniques

    Fiber analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of fibrous materials. Avizo Software enables the detection of manufacturing process damage, such as matrix cracking, fiber/matrix debonding, or fiber breakage. Defects in the material can be quantified locally (voids, cracks) or globally (cross-sectional distortions or misalignment).

    Porosity analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of porous materials. Avizo Software enables the detection and classification of various types of porosity (for example, connected vs isolated; macro pores vs micro pores), even on images with complex artifacts (such as pore back effect in FIB-SEM).

    Pore Network Analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of porous materials. This extension enables the conversion of the pore space into a model (Pore Network Model) representing pores and their connectivity, on which various properties can be color mapped. It also provides advanced pore space statistics (pore size distribution, pore throat size distribution, channel length, etc.) and filtering of the model based on its properties.

    Permeability analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of your materials. The Xlab extension provides numerical simulation capabilities to compute absolute permeability, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and molecular diffusivity.

    Failure Analysis

    Avizo Software provides a fast and robust meshing engine to automatically create simulation-ready meshes from 3D labeled images. Avizo Software generates high-quality meshes with smoothed conforming interfaces from large multi-material segmented images. You have fine control over element size distribution, while Avizo Software preserves thin structures and topology. Meshes can be exported to major solver’s format along with boundary conditions. Avizo Software also provides import of the solver’s outputs for post-processing the results with advanced visualization tools.

    Grain Analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of grains. Avizo Software provides advanced tools and enables the detection, segmentation, and analysis of grains, their size, distribution, and shape, even on complex images with artifacts. Grains can then be filtered, classified, and analyzed allowing full size, distribution, and shape statistical extraction. Avizo Software also provides the tools to automate and repeat your analysis through easy-to-customize recipes.

    Particles analysis

    Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform for the visualization, processing, and quantification of particles to improve performance of your materials, whether catalysts, alloys, or polymers.
