Abstract

Producers of cast products are in duty to their customers to document the inner quality of the product. The ultrasound measuring is a widely known and well-established technique for non-destructive analysis of the inside of a material used in medicine and many other fields. In the steel industry, ultrasound testing is already used to evaluate the internal quality of as-rolled material. The ultrasound measurement technique of HD scan for the evaluation of internal quality defects in the cast product sample is environmental friendly and needs a less surface processing in comparison to the etching procedure. The clean and safe technology offers three-dimensional views into the sample, providing higher representative information for a better quality evaluation. The quality evaluation is done automatically and based on clear statistical rules. The ultrasound quality evaluation system offers reliable and objective quality results fully independent of etching parameters and subjective quality operator impressions. The hitherto existing etching method may be completely replaced or the number of etching tests will significantly be reduced.
