Continuous assessment of steel quality during continuous casting

Ziel

The objectives of the research are the development and testing of ultrasonic methods to determine, continuously on-line, the general levels of cleanness of molten steel during continuous casting. Two types of inclusion detector are to be developed, one to be mounted above a sliding gate fitted to a tundish or ladle, and the other a dipping probe to monitor steel cleanness in various parts of the mould tundish and, possibly, ladles. Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of the concept and work is now required to optimise the ceramics and other materials used in construction and to produce a signal processing package to simplify the interpretation of results in order to provide a rapid feedback on factors affecting steel quality. Once developed and proven in trials the ultrasonic probes will be tested against plant results so that reliable process information can be generated for diagnostic and control purposes.
