Determine Steel Quality with Stream Solutions

OLYMPUS Stream Solutions enables the researcher to easily capture and analyze any image for niche applications quickly, precisely and in compliance with common international standards. The Grain Sizing Solutions are easy to use for beginners and experienced user’s alike, enabling accurate determination of the quality of the steel. The Solutions are an optional component to the OLYMPUS Stream software, which provides a complete intuitive workflow interface to accurately image and measure the microstructure of any sample.

The Grain Size Intercept Solution allows steel manufacturers to measure and control grain size, following cross-sectioning, polishing or etching. The OLYMPUS Stream software automatically calculates the grain size number (G number); while users can define the number of test lines for determining grain elongation. All resulting data are stored with the image for data mining. In addition, the Grain Size Planimetric Solution uses a new algorithm to extract grain boundaries, providing a guided measurement of the distribution of grain index. Both of these Solutions operate in accordance with internationally recognized industry standards, and the Chart Comparison Solution allows users to compare images with reference charts, making it ideal for in-depth evaluation and analysis.
