Research of the Image-Based Automatic Identification of the High-Strength Al-Alloy Grain Size

Abstract

In the quantitative analysis of metallographic organization, the grain size is a fundamental parameter. The traditional methods of getting the grain size depend on artificiality. These means have strong subjectivity and low efficiency. In this paper, a new digital image processing technology method is proposed for the measurement of the grain size. The experiment with the 7050 Al-alloy samples show that the proposed algorithm has performed well compared with the artificial methods.
