Abstract
For grains of any shape, a computer simulation technique to calculate the probability of finding a certain intercept length is suggested and the results are given for cubic, tetragonal and hexagonal grains. The distribution of linear intercepts measured is then converted into tha t of a three-dimensional (3D) size. The developed method is applied to determine the 3D distribution of cube-spherical grains observed in th e TiC-Ni cermet. (C) 1998 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
