Better understand the properties of your metals and alloys in a faster way

Whether you are developing new alloys or working to improve materials’ properties, you need to be able to increase the accuracy, reproducibility, and speed of the characterization of precipitates and inclusions in metals. Once you do, you can easily achieve trusted results, allowing you to manufacture better materials. However, this involves manual, time-consuming processes that require a high level of image processing expertise.

Thermo Scientific Avizo Software is a versatile analytical solution that provides a high level of accuracy in a fully or semi-automated way for multiple modalities in a single environment. It allows you to dramatically improve your productivity and output on inclusions and precipitates by allowing more people to analyze more samples in a powerful and efficient way—from a single environment.

Avizo Software includes advanced segmentation and quantification tools that allow you to combine various proven segmentation tools, each adding to the previous one for better accuracy. To reduce user bias and ensure your results remain objective, you can design and run repeatable QC workflows to optimize your production processes.

What is Avizo Software for characterization of metals and alloys?

During this introductory webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Go from segmenting a dozen particles a day to several hundred 
  • Increase the number of analyzed samples through automation 
  • Remove barriers caused by adopting multiple solutions for day-to-day analysis 
  • Design materials faster and spot weaknesses earlier 
  • Reduce scrap parts and enhance yield; optimize recycling of powder 

The webinar duration is approx. 20 minutes. The live webinar was followed by a Q&A (question and answer) session. All questions and answers are accessible in the FAQ section.
