AMGuss
Professional analysis of cast iron microstructure
AMGuss is a powerful analysis software for the professional determination of the microstructure of cast iron. For the determination of concrete material properties such as fracture behavior and elasticity, a concrete formation of the graphite particles is of decisive importance.
Features
- Powerful analysis software for cast iron
- Standard-compliant analysis sccording to DIN EN ISO 945 and ASTM-A247
- Determination of graphite size, shape and arrangement
- Nodular cast iron analysis
- Grey cast iron analysis
- Ferrite / perlite analysis
More Details
The most important national standard is EN ISO 945 "Cast iron - Determination of the Microstructure of Graphite" which forms the basis for the analysis software AMGuss. The following characteristic values can be determined:
- Graphite size
- Graphite shape
- Graphite arrangement
Additional measurement parameters are supplied that are not explicitly defined in the standard, but have been an integral part to previous analysis:
- Determination of the nodularity characteristic
- Measurement of the proportion of graphite
- Number and density of graphite particles (absolute and per unit area)
- Ferrite / pearlite characterization of the etched specimen
The evaluation software is divided into three complexes:
- Nodular- and vermicular graphite evaluation
- Lamellar graphite evaluation
- Ferrite / pearlite evaluation
- Image pre-processing
- Innovative form classifiers
- Automatic cropping of contact spherulithes
- Various interactive correction modes
- Automatic logging
