METZER-M MATERIAL PLUS SOFTWARE

Specifications:

Material plus is a fully automatic comprehensive micrographic solution for metallographic studies. The available software modules meet all equivalent national and international standards. The available wizards are:

Grain Size : Determine feritic and austerritic grain size in steel. The available methods are:

1. Automatic lineal intercept method.

2. Jeffries planimetric method.

3. Automatic and Semiautomatic Snyder and graff open scale intercept method.

4. Comparison method.

5. ALA grain size.

6. Selected grain size.

7. Manual count etc.

• Lamellar Graphite : This module evaluate and quantify Graphite in a fully automatic and consistent way.
• Phase Segmentation : Segmentation module in a sample measures the volume percentage of phases in a fully automatic way.
• Porosity : Pores in casting are estimated and reported on the basis of intensity. The percentage is calculated.
• Spheroidal Graphite : The software determines proportion of graphite of non-round shape, for instance vermicular graphite. Nodules for (designated by Arabic no 1to 8) is reported along with calculated Nodules/sqmm.
• Non-Metallic Graphite : Determines contents of non metallic. Inclusion in rolled or forged steel products according to ASTM standards.
• Coating Thickness : The test method covers measurement of the local thickness of metal and oxide coatings by microscopical examination of cross section.
