Determination of the representative volume-of-interest (REVOI) in ceramic replica foams
The investigations on ceramic foams with porous, heterogeneous microstructure are based on the standards and dimensions for dense materials due to the lack of alternatives. It is known that variations in pore size, shape and porosity have a significant effect on the physical properties, however, the...

description |
The investigations on ceramic foams with porous, heterogeneous microstructure are based on the standards and dimensions for dense materials due to the lack of alternatives. It is known that variations in pore size, shape and porosity have a significant effect on the physical properties, however, the considered sample volume is treated here as a secondary interest. To determine the representative volume-of-interest (REVOI), image data from micro tomography measurements of 30,45 and 60 ppi (pore per inch) Al2O3 foams were used. The REVOI is the minimum volume that comprehensively represents the microstructure and can thus be considered a unit volume. The Minkowski functionals allow an invariant microstructure description by single value using stereology approaches. Based on these values of defined volume sets, the REVOI was determined as a novelty in microstructure characterization. Additional analysis of the pore sizes in the 3D volume and determination of tortuosity and permeability at the previously defined volumes allowed validation of the REVOI. |
