Abstract

A new advanced and breakthrough technology has been developed for hot slab on-line surface inspection and installed in Aceralia (Spain). This innovative inspection system, integrating novel Conoscopic Holography, CCD cameras, a complex mechanical system and intelligent tools, operates in the real environment of a continuous casting facility, allows on-line hot slab surface inspection of 100% of the production, detecting cracks - without removing the surface scale - and inclusions (peeling a narrow strip on the surface).
