Objective Increasing the productivity while maintaining a consistent quality is considered as one of the most important technical goals in the steel industry. As the process may require closed loop control management, real-time knowledge of the microstructure becomes essential. Existing evaluation systems have shown a number of limitations in their use, which could be overcome with recent developments such as laser ultrasonic or new X-ray diffraction inspection devices. This project aims at capitalising these recent developments and evaluating the respective potential of these developments for on-line determination of microstructures in different environmental conditions.
