Ultrasonic Transmission Characteristics of Continuous Casting Slab for Medium Carbon Steel

Abstract:

Until now, surface defects of continuous casting slab have been removed by the enforced surface scarfing to produce high quality steel materials. An evaluation technique for surface and internal defects of slab is required to enhance the production of medium carbon steels and acquire defect-map. Accordingly as a preliminary step, longitudinal wave testing and Rayleigh wave testing were carried out on slab specimens of medium carbon steel to get basic transmission characteristics of ultrasonic waves. This research provides as basic data for on-line defect estimation using a laser ultrasonic or EMAT in non-contact ultrasonic detecting techniques in future.
