Virtual Macroetch for Quality Assessment in Complex Continuous Cast Steel Shapes
Abstract
In industrial environments, the internal quality of continuously cast steel shapes is typically evaluated afterwards by means of macroetch testing. Nevertheless, this approach becomes increasingly difficult as the product dimensions grow larger. When process parameters change — for example, with an increase in productivity — it is advisable to have a virtual macroetch available to perform a preliminary quality assessment.
