“…This method allows the calculation of multiple area fractions within a single image and examines the variation in this area fraction distribution as a function of window size (length scale). This concept is a premise for the multiscale analysis of area fractions code, [40][41][42] which can calculate the isotropic 40 and directional 41 representative length scales of microstructures using only 1-point statistics. The representative length scales (for anisotropic microstructures) or representative volume elements of various microstructure features may provide insight into material properties.…”

WORK UNIT NUMBER Solid-state processes for creating metal foams are often complex and/or time consuming, and in methods such as gas entrapment, there are practical limits to the porosity achievable due to pore coalescence and percolation. A simple process has been developed to create copper-based metal foam with porosity greater than 65%. The process is unique as expansion occurs within particles, not between them. The method is applied to create a bulk part. The microstructure length scales of the foamed particles are examined using 1-and 2-point microstructure statistics.
