Easy Analysis to Classify Inclusion Types

For each inclusion detected, the MQA™ produces over 30 different unique parameters related to size, shape, and elemental composition. Each parameter can be utilized to classify the type of inclusion system either through ternary phase diagrams or histograms.

Unique MQA™ reportable parameters:

• Average, Maximum, Minimum & Perpendicular Diameters
• Aspect Ratio
• Area, Perimeter & Orientation
• Void Area
• Edge Roughness
• RMS Video
• Roundness & Formfactor
• Equivalent Circular & Skeletal Diameter
• Hull Area and Perimeter
• Location
• Void Count
• Elemental Composition
