29、er than chemical analysis)”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the l

30、atest by January 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 10247:2007. The many changes in the current revisi

31、on result from only a few basic adjustments. The length to width limit ratio for globular inclusions has been changed from 1,3 to 3 (Annex I), and the mathematical principles underlying the chart have been more clearly defined (Annex H). These two changes have led to many numerical changes in Table

32、2 and Figure 11, where moreover some classes have been deleted and others added. The rules of assessment have changed, most notably to allow stringer formation from two particles upward (Subclause 3.1.2, Annex B), to exclude stringer formation between a stringer and a single particle (Subclause 3.1.

33、2), and to consistently define the classification of inclusions by shape, arrangement, and colour (Clause 3, Annexes A and B). Finally, the assessment and recording sheets have been redesigned to simplify manual use (Annexes K, L, and M). According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the nation

34、al standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithu

BS EN 10247:2017EN 10247:2017 (E) 6 Introduction This document establishes procedures for the assessment of inclusions in steels, based on t

36、heir morphology using standard pictures. These procedures include principles that yield results coherent with consolidated individual inclusion measurements and expressed in physical units. The chart of standard pictures is derived from mathematical principles. In distinction to other inclusion rati

37、ng standards, in this standard the order of the classification begins with the length (row index q). The results may be directly computed from field assessments. The same precision level is achieved by using the same method in manual evaluation and computer controlled measurements. The results are i

38、n physical units: length in m/mm2, number/mm2, areas in m2/mm2. BS EN 10247:2017EN 10247:2017 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard defines a method of microscopic non-metallic endogenous inclusion assessment using picture charts. The method does not apply to particles of a length or diameter less th

39、an 3,0 m or a width smaller than 2,0 m. If defined by a product standard or agreement between the involved parties for certain special products, inclusions with a width below 2,0 m can be evaluated by length alone. Inclusions with dimensions exceeding the upper limits in Table 2 are evaluated as bel

40、onging to the maximum class and noted separately with their true dimensions (see 8.5.6). It is assumed, if particles are elongated or if there are stringers of particles, that they are parallel to each other. Other arrangements are not covered by this draft standard. This draft European Standard app

41、lies to samples with a microscopic precipitation approaching random distribution. From the data of measurements obtained by this method, evaluation according to other standards can be established. This draft European Standard does not apply to free cutting steels. NOTE The basic principle of this dr

42、aft European Standard allows the determination of non-metallic inclusion content by image analysis techniques. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the ed

As a general rule, black is defined as the range from 0 - 130 and gray as the range from 131 to about 180. Thes

47、e ranges are not absolute or normative. The segmentation should be checked in the gray scale image. The flicker method is a recognized method for this purpose. Colour image analyses should be handled similarly. 8.3 Field of view At a magnification corresponding to H = 710 m the square frame is given

48、 by an etched glass in the eyepiece graticule, as defined in Figure 9. For broad field microscopes, the etched glass defined in Figure 10 may be used. Additional information is drawn on the etched glass (see Annex F), and information concerning the manufacturing of the graticules is given in Annex G

49、. One scale unit in the eyepiece is 10 m for H = 710 m. The correct value shall be checked by calibration. When analyzing images the field of view can take up the entire image area of the camera when applying the analyzing method K (see 9.3). If this is the case, an appropriate margin correction shall be provided. 8.4 Definition of the pictures of the chart 8.4.1 Size and Shape The shape of the inclusions is assumed to be an ellipse, see Figures 1 and 2. From this ideal shape the actual pictures are drawn to have an appearance as realisti
