Internal Structure & 3D Defect Intelligence

X-ray Tomography (Micro-CT) Analysis

Where internal architecture determines reliability, G-Hexa reveals hidden structures through high-resolution X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT). By reconstructing volumetric datasets from multiple radiographic projections, we visualize pores, cracks, inclusions, density variations, and internal geometries — transforming non-destructive scans into structural certainty.

From Radiographic Projections to Volumetric Intelligence

Unlike surface techniques, Micro-CT provides full three-dimensional insight into a material or component — without sectioning or destruction.

By analyzing X-ray attenuation variations, Micro-CT enables:

  • Internal defect detection

  • Porosity quantification

  • Crack propagation visualization

  • Fiber orientation analysis in composites

  • Dimensional measurement of complex geometries

At G-Hexa, Micro-CT is not simply imaging — it is volumetric structural analysis that connects internal integrity with functional performance.

Expert Sample Preparation Workflow

Micro-CT analysis requires careful stabilization and parameter optimization to ensure accurate attenuation contrast and resolution.
  • Sample size optimization for resolution requirements
  • Secure mounting to prevent motion artifacts
  • Voltage and current parameter selection
  • Filter optimization for material density
  • Calibration using density standards
  • Reconstruction parameter tuning for artifact reduction
Each scan is configured to maximize structural clarity and quantitative reliability.

Challenges in Micro-CT Analysis

Beam hardening, ring artifacts, limited contrast in low-density materials, and resolution constraints can affect interpretation. Complex multi-material systems require careful segmentation.

Our expertise ensures:

  • Accurate defect segmentation and thresholding

  • Artifact correction during reconstruction

  • Reliable quantitative porosity analysis

  • Differentiation between true defects and imaging noise

Volumetric datasets are interpreted structurally — not just visually.

G-HEXA’S VISION — SEEING BEYOND THE SURFACE

Micro-CT is internal structural intelligence. Every voxel represents density, continuity, and integrity. Through disciplined volumetric analysis and industrial correlation, we transform non-destructive scans into predictive engineering control.
