Some parameters used to characterize fictitious features not existing in the real microstructure, such as the total length in a unit volume of the intersection curves made by the interface between the particles of secondary phase with the fictitious grain boundary surface of the matrix phase, are useful for the quantitative characterization of particle–profile contiguity on grain boundary surfaces, and can be determined in an unbiased way from measurements on random planes of polish. It is shown that the contiguity parameters C3D proposed by Gurland, LV‐type by Cahn & Hilliard and CGB by Liu, all accessible stereologically, have different physical meanings and provide different kinds of quantitative information on particle contiguity. The reversed stereology principle is applicable to contiguity parameters C3D and CGB, since their estimators are comparable. The contiguity analysis carried out for isothermal austenite‐ferrite phase transformation processes occurring in five series of low‐carbon Ti–B or V–Ti–B steels has confirmed the feasibility of the methods proposed.
