Visualization and size analysis of foreign matter in CFRP using high-resolution 3D X-ray microscope

AppNote XRI1004: Visualization and size analysis of foreign matter in CFRP using high-resolution 3D X-ray microscope

Background

The number and volume of voids and foreign matter in molding materials affects the strength of the material. High-resolution 3D X-ray microscopes enable 3D visualization and quantification of substances with different densities in an object 1 mm or less in size. In this example, we performed a CT scan on a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and analyzed the location and size distribution of foreign matter.
