Observation of internal structure and image analysis of orientation and dispersion state using X-ray CT.
Visualize and evaluate the fibers inside the resin! The reinforcing fibers in the plastic are clearly visible as well.
Our company conducts fiber orientation evaluation using X-ray CT images. By extracting fiber data from three-dimensional images, it is possible to visually grasp the three-dimensional orientation distribution. Additionally, by specifying each axis and volume, it is also possible to quantitatively evaluate the statistical and local orientation distribution of the fibers. [Background and Issues] ■ The demand for lightweight and high-strength fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) is increasing. ■ The types of fibers include glass, carbon, and cellulose nanofibers, which are used in various fields such as plastic containers and automobiles. ■ While FRP has various advantages, the fiber orientation caused by processes like injection molding can prevent achieving sufficient performance and can also lead to molding defects such as warping. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
basic information
[Future Developments and Expected Outcomes] ■ By visualizing fibers in three dimensions and using image analysis, it is possible to evaluate the fiber content, degree of orientation, and percentage of voids. ■ Select suitable X-ray CT based on evaluation objectives such as fiber thickness and the area of interest. ■ Since it is non-destructive, using tensile or bending fixtures allows for the evaluation of changes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
