Metallographic Systems to compare	Average time of metallographic analysis (including image recognition), min	Deviation of grain parameters in the analyzed metallographic image,%
Ordinary (outdated) metallographic system without developed software	18	5–10
New metallographic analysis system with developed software (based on neural networks)	5	3–4
Metallographic systems (Videotest, SIAMS etc)	7	5–8
