Objective The main objective of this project is to provide metallurgists with rapid techniques for process evaluation. The first step is to reduce the relative importance of chemical analysis in overall steel-making precision. This will be achieved through improved liquid steel sampling and the use of new analytical developments. In a second step the same analytical techniques will be used to characterise steel cleanliness and metal homogeneity to predict the quality of the final products as soon as possible. The most important techniques are Pulse Discrimination Analysis (PDA-OES) with and without a scanning system, and to a lesser extent Fractional Gas Analysis (FGA).
