AISI301LN, a low-carbon variant of austenitic stainless steel renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, strength, and versatility, finds widespread applications across industries. However, its susceptibility to martensitic transformation during plastic deformation poses challenges to its mechanical properties. To address this, in our study we are focusing on two key aspects. Firstly, we aim to develop accelerated imaging methods for detecting martensite in the microstructure, to unlock the possibility of understanding the behaviour of the AISI301LN, as well as detecting and mapping the proportion of martensite phase in microstructure. Secondly, we explore automated image analysis techniques for precise segmentation of phases in scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs. We assess the performance of commercial solutions such as Thermo Fisher Amira-Avizo and ZEISS ZEN Intellesis, comparing them with custom-trained neural network models based on established architectures for image segmentation. Our research not only contributes to a deeper understanding of AISI301LN behavior but also evaluates the effectiveness of machine learning tools in enhancing its properties.
