X‐ray Micro‐Tomography is an important technique that has been developed during the last years. This characterization tool can be applied to graphite/aluminium composites obtaining 3D microstructural information from the reconstruction of 2D X‐ray transmission images. The resulting volume data set can be used as model for simulating properties or understanding the behavior of the material.
