Crack-Depth Prediction in Steel Based on Cooling Rate

Figure 9

Cooling rate matrix of the new crack, with pseudocolor assigned to each cooling rate value (top left) and macrophotography of the crack (bottom left). Overlapping of cooling rate map with macrophotography of the crack in order to correlate the different depths of the crack with the different cooling rate data (right). The transversal section used to assess the prediction model has been plotted.
