Cover Story: In this study, alumina ceramics were obtained from three different sources, with various rare-earth dopants, concentration levels and synthesizing routes; ceramic properties were measured, resulting in a complex, multivariate database. Microstructural features were assessed by using two edge detection techniques and by computing Fractal Dimension (FD). Correlations in the causal chain, materials–composition–processing–microstructure–properties, with multiple choices for each link, were extracted. Principal Component Analysis was used to understand the data on a scientific basis and to extract correlations, along with some other statistical techniques. FD was acknowledged to be an effective quantifier of highly dissimilar and/or noisy microstructures, and the best edge detection technique was selected. View this paper
