Abstract
The characterization of ceramic foams via X-ray microtomography imaging method is often restricted to a general overview of samples, either to perform qualitative or quantitative analyses. To assess the foam with a focus on some specific components of its structure, such as hollow struts’ cavities and open cells, the generalized characterizations must be overcome. This work presents image analysis methodologies, based on open-source software, tools, and plugins, to achieve the aforementioned characterizations. SiC and ZrO2 foams samples were analyzed and some of the results were compared with those accomplished with pieces of commercial software. The results show good agreement between open-source and commercial software applications, indicating that the presented methodologies can be freely applied by any researcher to analyze their foams.
