The structure of sandblasting nozzles is subjected to morphological analysis. Metallographic analysis and full processing of microstructural images show that the studied samples can be used in practice. Modern application software is used to develop a technique for determining the structural and morphological parameters of the sample sandblasting nozzle. Further research of the nozzles, including statistical processing of the characteristics obtained, calculation of average structural sizes, and visualization of structural analysis, is planned.
