Abstract
A reference object with artificial defects was used in this research work in order to evaluate the accuracy of porosity measurements by CT. The reference object was manufactured by ultra-precision micro-milling. The object contains dismountable components with embedded internal hemispherical features that simulate internal porosity. The artificial porosity was micro-milled on top surfaces of dismountable cylindrical inserts. The hemispherical calottes were thereafter calibrated by traceable coordinate measuring systems and calibrated values were compared to actual values measured by a CT system. The accuracy of CT porosity measurements was then evaluated based on results obtained on various measurands, using different software tools and measuring procedures, comparing real scans to numerical simulations and investigating the influence of CT system parameters settings on measurement results.
