Ceramic Defects Analysis

Automation Focused
Our goal is straightforward: to automate as much of your ceramic defect analysis as possible, through either fully automated or supervised workflows. MIPAR eliminates the need for manual point counting or annotation. Simply open an image, load your tailored recipe, and generate a report ready to share.
 
Material Overview
Defect analysis in ceramics is vital for assessing material quality and predicting material properties such as mechanical performance.
 
Challenges
Automating defect analysis in ceramic materials involves challenges in detecting microscopic defects like micro-cracks and pores, which require sensitive and high-resolution imaging techniques. The variability in defect types and sizes, coupled with the effects of the sintering process on defect formation, adds complexity to the analysis. Differentiating actual defects from inherent microstructural features demands advanced image processing and analytical techniques. Furthermore, accurate quantification and characterization of these defects, essential for assessing their impact on material properties, are complicated by variations in sample preparation and surface finish.
 
MIPAR Solution
By combining robust Deep Learning models with conventional image analysis approaches, MIPAR quickly and accurately detects individual defects. Once detected, defects can be automatically measured using classic area fraction and diameter measurements or following a custom definition. By detecting individual defects, MIPAR enables size, shape, and orientation characterization, providing valuable insights into the physical properties and material properties of ceramics.
 
Advantages
Save time, eliminate inter-operator variability, and gain a deeper understanding of your ceramic microstructure while gaining confidence in the quality of your measurements.
 
MIPAR Users
Ideal for metallurgists, materials scientists, research, and quality control professionals in the ceramic materials manufacturing industry.
 
Technical Details
MIPAR supports over 150 file types from a wide range of instrument types and manufacturers, including automated calibration and metadata import. Micrographs can be processed in batches, and MIPAR includes a batch review environment to ensure detection and measurement accuracy. To ensure data privacy and security, the software runs locally on your workstation, without the need for an internet connection.
