Industry Problem
During steel production process, there is a possibility of encountering different morphology and chemistry in a given sample and these aspects may affect the quality of product. For a trained analyst, conventional assessment of inclusions in a processed material could almost take a week using microscope methods. Nevertheless, the examination of single or multiple samples may not be sufficient to analyze the impact of inclusions on the process or to assess the remedial action required. In spite of the requirement to understand inclusion control, fast and precise analysis technique that could provide a comprehensive inclusion data or help to acquire the number of required samples to enhance product quality and productivity does not exist.
Collaboration of Industry Partners
To address this issue, RJ Lee Group teamed up with several industry partners, which included both small and large organizations. These organizations had to make smart and informed decisions on how to implement inclusion control to create high-quality steels, which could give them a competitive edge in the market. This joint initiative, supported by a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant, resulted in the development of detailed inclusion analysis on a quick turnaround time. In steel production, this would become an important part of process monitoring.
