Identification of Eutectic Microstructure by HPP Cellular Automata in Aluminum Alloys

Abstract:

The eutectic structure of aluminum alloys has different morphology. To describe these a different image processing and analysis workflow needs to be built. To assign the different image processing steps to the different structure automatically a computational method had to be developed. In the image processing methods several cellular automata operate. For this expediently a cellular automaton was developed to classify the different eutectic structures. In materials engineering applications a HPP automata is used extensively therefore this type of automata were chosen to solve the mentioned problem. This article shows the simplicity of this method as well as the desired evaluation method.
