Objective
Reliable and non-destructive testing for the detection of possible internal and surface flaws prior to further processing is crucial to ensure the quality of strip products. However, until now, there is no testing technique available for the in-line detection of internal flaws. In the course of previous research projects, a new technique was developed for internal and surface defects in strips by means of electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers using guided waves. Starting with the existing laboratory tests, a pilot system for strips with a thickness between 2 mm and 3 mm, suitable for industrial use, is to be constructed. This pilot plant will subsequently be tested under in- process conditions in order to demonstrate the performance capability of the technique in industrial practice.
