Over the past two years, four CGLs have installed an online, surface cleanliness monitor system utilizing a non-contact, laser ablation technique to evaluate the contamination layer on the moving sheet. The CGL operators using the system obtain unprecedented detail about the sheet’s surface cleanliness along the entire length of each coil.
The system has been improved over the last two...

Alessandro Ferraiuolo (Marcegaglia Ravenna)22/06/2021, 11:20New Technological ConceptsOral PresentationThis paper presents the results of the development of an innovative methodology for the online measurement of austenite fraction formed during intercritical annealing in HDG lines. The approach is based on the definition of the analytical equation (Feral equation) relating the austenite fraction formed at soaking temperature with the epitaxial ferrite growth occurring during the reverse...Go to contribution page

During the manufacturing of the modern high strength steels, it is very important to know the austenite level compared to ferrite at given positions in the line during the steel production. Indeed, ensuring the constancy of the austenite fraction is mandatory for the constancy of the mechanical properties of the final product.

The surface quality of a finished product on a galvanizing line is a very important criteria, especially for automotive and home appliance exposed products. To control it, automatic surface inspection systems (ASIS) have been developed since many years and are installed on all galvanizing lines dealing with high product quality. A highly performant ASIS from Primetals Technologies has been...
