Specification of Software

This software  can be used in Steel plants, Metal forging  industry, Oil & gas industry ,Material Science, Manufacturing and  where  ever  Metallurgical microscope are  used in .This Package is  very useful  for Educational Institutions and all material science technocrats and metallurgists. It  has two  main toolbars 

1) Measurement Tools 
2) Metallography  Tools 

1.Measurement Tools.

a. Calibration :-
This  tools is for  calibrating  through  calibration scale. This is done once while the system is integrated with Camera/Microscope/Adapter and the Software. And the Calibration remain as Standards for any future Capture and Study. 

b. Length:-  
This  is  used  for measuring  length .It can measure  any  given length  found  in the image with respect to any findings or portions thereof . It  calculates  according  to your  selected calibrated  scale  name,  chosen  from   the  list of predetermined Magnification. 

c. Angle:-  
This is  used  for measuring   angles  of three selected  point of the captured image. 

d. Perimeter:- 
This is used for  measuring  perimeter of irregular shapes 

e. Width:-         
This is used  for  measuring  width .It  will give Minor Width, Major Width and  Average Width too. 

f. Radius:-        
This is  used  for  measuring  three points radius. 

g. Area:-           
This  is used for  measuring area  with respect to   Manual selection of a portion, Square, Rectangle, Oval and Circle.

h. Color:-         
 This enables to select a Contrast Color  for easy visualization and draw.

i. Counting:-     
The Material Pro 3  enables  automatic counting  of particles. It has three intensity  range  for counting such as manual , automatic and bright objects determination method. In the process total count is derived, Max dia, Minimum Dia, Max Area, Min. Area and Its percentage etc., based on the Area Range  in different color  it can be identified , Each Grain Particle can be distinguished and numbered automatically, Label color can also be changed, . It is used to measure and density parameters for the image objects (particles powders, inclusions, grains, etc.)

 2.Metallography  Tools.

a. Grain Size:-
As per American Standard of Testing Materials (ASTM)  Grain Measurement and Number can be arrived at with direct tabulation method on  two methods.

1. Manual
In manual  you can select  with mouse. It will measure Intercept, Diameter , Grain No., Avg, Grain Area (mm).and  measures to ASTM E 112

2. Interception
In Interception  method  it is automatic. It will measure Mean  Intercept, Diameter , Grain No., Avg, Grain Area in (mm), Avg. Grain Area in (mm). 

b. Phase:- ASTM E 566  1245  
This  is used to estimate the area percentage of different phases composition  of  material. Phase Analysis. Thresholding  can be done by different  colors. Number of Phases can  be drawn. Preview can be seen. It will    calculate  Area%  and Area  of selected Phase in different colors. Single Phase can be done  by simply clicking  on particular portion and it can be reset or deleted.
It allows user to acquire, process , and analyze  the images of the    polished sections when it is necessary to estimate the area percentage of different phases. If the image is  color or b/w (depending on the image) the program starts its processing.     The phases  for (e.g different minerals, inclusions in the metals, etc.) are threshold. For   phase thresholding the B/W or Color manual thresholding method is used. If you are not satisfied with their  thresholding there is an ability to adjust it by moving the graphical sliders..

c. Decarbization:-  ASTM E 1077
This is used for Decarbization. It has two method Manual and Automatic. In manual  method  you  can simply  mark two  different  portion then it will calculate the decarb  level In  automatic you have to simply move the slider and click on Decarb  it will calculate Max, Min   and Average of decarb level

d. Coating Thickness:-ASTM B 487
It has two options Manually and Automatic .In manually simply  mark  your Area for calculating  then it will calculate. In Automatic simply mark your portion  with the mouse it will be appeared in rectangular shape then click on calculate. It will give results in  Min Length, Max length, Average length, Min height ,Max height and Average height.

e. Nodularity:- ASTM A 247
This is used for Nodules analysis. It has three intensity  range  for counting Manual by selecting  area, Automatic dark objects, Automatic bright objects.
