Tomoscopy: Time‐Resolved Tomography for Dynamic Processes in Materials

The structure and constitution of opaque materials can be studied with X-ray imaging methods such as 3D tomography. To observe the dynamic evolution their distribution constituents, for example, during processing, heating, mechanical loading, etc., has to fast enough. In this paper, recent developments time-resolved tomography that have led what one now calls “tomoscopy” are briefly reviewed A novel setup is presented applied pushes temporal resolution down just 1 ms, is, 1000 tomograms per second (tps) acquired, while maintaining spatial resolutions micrometers running experiments minutes without interruption. Applications recorded at different acquisition rates ranging from 50 tps presented. authors quantify immiscible hypermonotectic reaction AlBi10 (in wt%) alloy dendrite in AlGe10 casting solidification. combustion process constituents analyzed a burning sparkler.
