Abstract Scope |
Material microstructure plays a critical role in determining the corrosion behavior of refractory materials. Traditional manual segmentation of 3D imaging data is often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to inconsistencies. In this work, we introduce an automated segmentation approach using deep learning to streamline this process. A 3D U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, specifically designed for volumetric data, is employed to segment 3D images of newly synthesized refractory materials, obtained via Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM). This automated approach not only saves material scientists significant time but also ensures more consistent and accurate results. Additionally, we demonstrate how linking microstructural features to macroscopic properties provides valuable insights, offering a robust tool for further material analysis and property prediction. |
