Bubbles, microcavities, interconnected pores… Porosity directly affects the mechanical strength, thermal resistance and durability of a material. Poorly controlled porosity can reduce strength, cause premature failure or impair the functionality of a product.
Using X-ray tomography and microtomography, NOVITOM offers you a non-destructive, multi-scale 3D analysis of sub-micrometric pores to large porosities.
Volume porosity: proportion of total volume occupied by pores.
Size and shape distribution: equivalent diameter, average size, sphericity, shape factor, orientation, Feret diameter.
Spatial location: position of porosities in the part or structure.
Connectivity: distinction between open and closed pores, size of interconnected porous network, local thickness, tortuosity.
Dynamic evolution of porosity under mechanical, thermal or chemical stresses
Foam cells: cell volume, cell density, size distribution
Complete, non-destructive 3D view: detects and measures all porosities, open or closed, without sample preparation bias
Multi-scale accuracy: from millimetres to sub-microns, for massive samples or fine microstructures
Reliable and comprehensive quantification: pore volume, size, shape, distribution and connectivity, without sampling bias
Data usable for modelling and AI algorithms: generation of comprehensive datasets to correlate microstructure and performance
Observation under real conditions: in situ monitoring of porosity evolution under mechanical, thermal or chemical stresses
