Metallurgical Image Analysis Software Free Download < UPDATED ◎ >

Metallurgical image analysis enables quantitative characterization of microstructures (grain size, phase fraction, inclusion rating, porosity). While commercial software (e.g., Zeiss AxioVision, Thermo Scientific OMNIMet) is expensive, several free or open-source alternatives exist. This paper reviews available free software, compares their capabilities, and provides a practical workflow for metallographers.
