(interception method)
• One of the main study objectives of engineering
materials is the microstructure, through a series of techniques
which as a whole are referred to as stereological analysis, because
are based on a two-dimensional representation (photomicrography) to
determine the volumetric properties of the material studied.
• ASTM E-112 Standard (Standard Test Methods for Determining Average Grain

• The four straight lines in the image correspond to the method
de Heyn. The Hilliard method uses a circle
generally 100, 200 or 250 mm in perimeter. The three
the circles in the image correspond to the method of
Abrams (together they total a length of 500mm).
