Summary
Random sets are useful tools for modelling the microstructure of a large variety of materials. Two applications are proposed for illustration. The first one deals with grain coarsening in WC-Co materials. The WC phase is modelled by a random set of triangular prisms, with a log-normal size distribution, and the evolution of the grain size distribution is analysed. The second example is the analysis of the porosity dispersion in sintered TiB2-Fe composites. A multiscale structuring is evidenced, possibly resulting from agglomeration during the material processing.
