Micro-CT in Metallurgy

X-ray Micro-CT and CT are the techniques widely used in the field of metallurgy. Micro-CT can be used successfully in the field for example in additive manufacturing (AM), which is a layer-by-layer manufacturing method is growing considerably, especially for producing functional metal parts for critical applications in medical and aerospace industries. Here some applications are presented:

• crack-like feature observation
• Analysis of the form of metal powders, particle size distribution, porosity,packing, …
• Additive Manufacturing (Porosity and defect analysis, Volumetric density measurement, Dimensional measurement, Deformation or 4D micro CT, Surface roughness or topography, simulations based on design geometry of parts, Multi-material AM analysis, …)
• CAD Comparison
