• Abstract: To this date the safety assessment of materials, used for example in the nuclear power sector, commonly relies on a fracture mechanical analysis utilizing macroscopic concepts, where a global load quantity K or J is compared to the materials fracture toughness curve. Part of the experimental effort involved in these concepts is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of fracture surfaces. Within the scope of this study a methodology for the semi-supervised training of deep learning models for fracture surface segmentation on a macroscopic level was established. Therefore, three distinct and unique datasets were created to analyze the influence of structural similarity on the segmentation capability. The structural similarity differs due to the assessed materials and specimen, as well as imaging-induced variance due to fluctuations in image acquisition in different laboratories. The datasets correspond to typical isolated laboratory conditions, complex real-world circumstances, and a curated subset of the two. We implemented a weak-to-strong consistency regularization for semi-supervised learning. On the heterogeneous dataset we were able to train robust and well-generalizing models that learned feature representations from images across different domains without observing a significant drop in prediction quality. Furthermore, our approach reduced the number of labeled images required for training by a factor of 6. To demonstrate the success of our method and the benefit of our approach for the fracture mechanics assessment, we utilized the models for initial crack size measurements with the area average method. For the laboratory setting, the deep learning assisted measurements proved to have the same quality as manual measurements. For models trained on the heterogeneous dataset, very good measurement accuracies with mean deviations smaller than 1 % could be achieved...

• Microstructure quality control of steels using deep learning [0.0]
  In quality control, microstructures are investigated rigorously to ensure structural integrity, exclude the presence of critical volume defects, and validate the formation of the target microstructure. For quenched, hierarchically-structured steels, the morphology of the bainitic and martensitic microstructures are of major concern to guarantee the reliability of the material under service conditions. We propose a deep learning image classification approach that distinguishes steels based on their microstructure type and classifies their needle length alluding to the ISO 643 grain size assessment standard.
