A new quantitative metallographic method to distinguish the morphology of lamellar from globular eutectic carbides in micrographs steel was developed.The analytical image-processing uses a standard interception evaluate anisotropy analyzed surface features.On basis degree samples can be distinguished morphology.In comparison similar existing methods, our enables user uniquely specify investigated image region.In this way it is especially useful for boundary cases, where both morphological types are present on same micrograph and different parts need separately.
