Objective
The project will develop means of improving the surface quality of continuously cast product; firstly by the development of non-contact methods of detection of surface and near surface defects; secondly through the study of the effect of scarfing on defects before and after rolling; and lastly by optimising scarfing practices and investigating improved means of defect removal.
Two non-contact methods of defect detection will be developed; firstly via EMAT technologies which generates eddy currents and detects changes when defects are present; secondly via a method which recognises the spark pattern in the scarfing flame when a defect is encountered.
The methods have the potential for on-line use at the caster and could ultimately be linked to a quality prediction scheme.
