MiC has built-in engine to recognize the shape of phase in case of cast iron it is Graphite Morphology. There are six base types of presence of Graphite in the cast irons. MiC has adopted the path as per guidelines given in Japanese International Standards number JIS 5502.
Following six standard types are provided.
These types may be identified manually or automatically. MiC graphite morphology detection engine can isolate any of these with subclasses.
MiC routines are provided to identify the shape of graphite, hence depending on presence of majority of the shape classification is assessed. It is mandatory to solarize the image before getting the result. Normally, "Phase" auto detection mode with detection depth of 20 provides satisfactory result however, if found improper manual Solarization for isolation of graphite flakes / nodules is required by considering graphite as primary phase and make background as matrix. Experiments at MiC Laboratory concludes that graphite morphology detection accuracy increases when microstructure is kept in ´as polished´ condition. Graphite morphology detection as per ASTM shall be provided soon.
