Powder Technology and Software Tools for Microstructure Control of AlCu2 Samples

The powder technology of structurally inhomogeneous materials of AlCu2 sample formation is developed. The algorithm for image recognition of separate particles’ microstructure of structurally inhomogeneous materials is formed and implemented in the Smart-eye software, which provides tools for analysis of surface and internal properties of structurally inhomogeneous materials. The developed powder technology is applied in obtaining the samples of AlCu2, which are further analysed by the Smart-eye software. The structural characteristics of the starting material (AlCu2), in particular porosity, were predicted. The analysis of the average results of the study of the microstructure of AlCu2 particles is held, which shows that the developed models allow accurate control of the microstructure and properties of structurally inhomogeneous materials obtained based on powder technologies. Improvement of granulometric composition of structurally inhomogeneous materials is proved. Based on the obtained materials developed powder technology, it is possible to predict the structural characteristics of AlCu2 raw materials at a qualitative level. Thus, it is possible to exercise to carry out practical realization of the received results on manufacture.
