モアレ縞を応用した不均等腐食面の計測

抄録

An optical measuring method for corrosion patterns is newly developed, which is based on an application of the Moire phenomena. A specially designed grided plate is set just above a corroded surface. The shadows of grids, which are formed on the corroded surface by the light from a point source, superpose on the grids themselves and make a Moire pattern, in which black stripes exactly correspond to the constant range of depth beneath them. The range of depth which is darkened in a photograph can be controled to any value. It is easy to record the position and depth of the most deeply corroded location. The distribution of corrosion loss on an unevenly corroded surface may also be determined by taking many photographs under different conditions and by analysing them using an electronic image analyzer.
