Automated Steel Cleanliness Analysis Tool

The aim is to develop, build, evaluate, demonstrate, and integrate the use of Automated Steel Cleanliness Analysis Tool (ASCAT) in up to two steel mills. The ultimate goal is to develop technology that will allow steel producers to evaluate the quality of steel during production. The development and use of ASCAT will allow critical assessments and adjustments to be made within the production cycle.
