Monitoring solidification time is a key factor for improving mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation. The Dendrite Arm Spacing solution in our image analysis software automatically measures the mean secondary dendrite arm spacing in lightweight aluminum casting to monitor solidification time.

Measurement options:

• Measure the dendrite arm spacing (DAS) using the Manual or Automatic method (using thresholds)
• Calculate the solidification time in lightweight castings
• Measure the total length, the number of dendrite arms, the average DAS, its variance, and the median DAS
