In this work, a Titanium aerospace investment casting was analyzed by X-ray micro Computed Tomography (X-ray microCT). The geometry cast and evaluated was supplied by Boeing, and was supplied to CSIR as a design file. This geometry is used to benchmark titanium casting processes and suppliers against aerospace standards. Key features of interest are internal …

A beer mug was acquired from Germany during a training visit, and it was decided to use this as an example for dimensional measurement or metrology using X-ray CT. The simple process employs best-fit planes and cylinders in this case to determine the height and diameter of the mug, though any distances or angles could …

This simple example demonstrates two things: 1. It is possible to penetrate and successfully scan a small dense object such as a bullet (containing lead) 2. Accurate dimensional measurements are possible using metrology tools, allowing for example forensic analysis of such samples, ie. determining the caliber or make of the bullet MOVIE: Analysis performed in …
