Objective
Analysis procedures will be developed under this research project, which are capable of providing compositional details of in-process materials and products in real time. Focused laser beams will be used to sample materials in-situ, the resultant aerosol being transferred to a remote excitation source for spectrometric analysis. The interaction of lasers of different wavelengths with a range of steelworks materials will need to be studied in order to optimise the ablation process. The effects of specimen temperature, homogeneity and the ability to penetrate scale to reach representative material will be investigated. It is intended that the work will establish design criteria for analysers suitable for a range of applications.
