Aluminum Grain Size

Automation Focused
Our goal is straightforward: to automate as much of your aluminum grain size analysis as possible, through either fully automated or supervised workflows. MIPAR eliminates the need for manual point counting, intercept drawing, or whole grain annotation. Simply open an image, load your tailored recipe, and generate a report ready to share.

Material Overview
Grain size analysis in aluminum is vital for assessing material quality and predicting material properties such as mechanical, thermal, and corrosion properties.

Challenges
Variation in the source material, sample preparation, and imaging conditions can introduce hurdles in achieving accurate micrograph characterization. Manual analysis can introduce inter-operator variability, and conventional automation solutions often struggle to overcome real-world variability.

MIPAR Solution
By combining robust Deep Learning models with conventional image analysis approaches, MIPAR quickly and accurately detects individual aluminum grains. Once detected, grain size can be automatically measured using classic diameter and area measurements or following the ASTM E112 standard. By detecting individual grains, MIPAR enables size, shape, and orientation characterization, providing valuable insights into aluminum properties.

Advantages
Save time, eliminate inter-operator variability, and gain a deeper understanding of your aluminum microstructure while gaining confidence in the quality of your measurements.

MIPAR Users
Ideal for metallurgists, materials scientists, research, and quality control professionals in the aluminum 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. The software runs locally on your workstation, without the need for an internet connection, eliminating security concerns.
