Application of X-ray tomography to quantify the distribution of TiB2 particulate in aluminium

Characterization of the volume percentage and distribution of reinforcement particles in metal matrix composites with microfocal X-ray tomography was investigated using titanium diboride (TiB2) in an aluminum matrix as a model system. Comparison to other techniques, including scanning electron and o...

Description
Summary:Characterization of the volume percentage and distribution of reinforcement particles in metal matrix composites with microfocal X-ray tomography was investigated using titanium diboride (TiB2) in an aluminum matrix as a model system. Comparison to other techniques, including scanning electron and optical microscopy, illustrates the benefits of tomography. (Author)
