The LuMetalTools Software
The Lumet 2.0 is provided with a software package developed by Dr. Thomas Garcin, based on his over 10 years of experience in the use of laser-ultrasonics for metallurgical studies.This software package enables operators to easily extract microstructure information from the laser-ultrasonic data without being experts in the field.
Altogether, this software tool allows operators to efficiently plot microstructure characteristics as a function of an external parameter, such as grain size as a function of temperature.
