Abstract

Early surface defects inspection in hot steel products is a difficult task, but can help to reduce significantly production costs. This is the case of steel slabs when they are produced in the continuous casting line. Conoscopic holography phase-based long stand-off profilometers have shown to be a great tool for this kind of inspection, and a breakthrough system based on them is being used for more than 2 years in production conditions with high reliability and economical impact. This paper presents the results of this system and the challenges it has overcome: hot material up to 900°C, dust, scale over the inspected surface.
