Abstract

This paper represents an imaged-based method for the quantitative characterization of the dissolution behaviour of fused tungsten carbide in the welding process. For the metallographic investigations based on microscopic images, a hybrid image segmentation procedure for the detection of hard phases is proposed to quantify their amount and distribution in the matrix material. With the help of this tool, the dependence of hard phase characteristic on the welding parameters was investigated.

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag stellt eine bildbasierte Methode für die quantitative Charakterisierung des Auflösungsverhaltens des verschmolzenen Wolframkarbides im Schweißprozess. Für die auf mikroskopischen Bildern basierenden metallographischen Untersuchungen wird ein hybrides Bildsegmentierungsverfahren zur Detektion der Hartphasen entwickelt, um deren Menge und Verteilung im Matrix-Material zu quantifizieren. Mit Hilfe dieses Verfahrens wurde die Abhängigkeit der Charakteristik der Hartphasen von den Schweißparametern untersucht.
