The objective of the research conducted was to develop a comprehensive procedure for a quantitative evaluation of magnesium casting alloy's (AZ91) microstructure. The procedure encompasses: a methodology of metallographic specimens preparation, microstructure detection methods, selection of image acquisition methods, image analysis methodology and adjustment of morphological and stereological parameters to the quantitative description of volume fraction of phases and structural components of the AZ91.
