Abstract The surface brittle fracture of cermet coating seriously restricts its application. Accurate evaluation of the fracture toughness of cermet coating is a prerequisite for improving its life. This paper aims to propose an accurate characterization method for fracture toughness of cermet coating. By coupling instrumented indentation and X‑ ray computed tomography, the indentation-induced fracture behaviors under various loads within WC-12%Co coatings were studied. The indentation response was correlated with the damage evolution directly observed within the coating. The impact of substrate effects on indentation-induced fracture behaviors was further studied using finite element analysis (FEA). The… More >

Abstract X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) enables non-destructive acquisition of the internal structure of materials, and image segmentation plays a crucial role in analyzing material XCT images. This paper proposes an image segmentation method based on the Segment Anything model (SAM). We constructed a dataset of carbide in nickel-based single crystal superalloys XCT images and preprocessed the images using median filtering, histogram equalization, and gamma correction. Subsequently, SAM was fine-tuned to adapt to the task of material XCT image segmentation, resulting in Material-SAM. We compared the performance of threshold segmentation, SAM, U-Net model, and Material-SAM. Our method More >

Abstract The Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Computed Tomography (SR-CT) technique is a non- destructive detection technology which can give the in-situ observation of microstructure evolution of materials under the external field (e.g., high pressure, high temperature, electromagnetic field, intense radiation, etc.), and it has a significant application in the area of plants and crops, advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, biomedicine, mechanics, archaeology and so on.
