Objective

After rolling, surface cleanliness is a key parameter for steel strip subjected to continuous annealing or metallic and/or organic coating operations. The aim of this research project is to investigate the possibilities of continuous on-line monitoring of surface pollution based on Optically Stimulated Electron Emission (OSEE) for light pollution levels after degreasing lines, and on infrared emission characteristics of semi-transparent thin layer for surface pollution monitoring at the input of continuous annealing and galvanising lines.
