Abstract

The control of non-metallic inclusions in steel is essential to prevent negative impacts on formability, mechanical properties, and the final quality of the product. Identifying the origin and formation stages of these inclusions is crucial for achieving better results. In 2024, AM Pecém acquired the Spark-DAT equipment, which identifies and measures the types and sizes of inclusions, aiming to reduce deviations in the manufacturing process and ensure the quality of steel slabs. The implementation involved technical studies and collaboration with the AM Tubarão plant. The equipment stands out for its modernity and seamless integration into laboratory analyses. AM Pecém is a pioneer in Brazil and within the ArcelorMittal group in using this standardized technique, positioning itself as a leader in technology and excellence in the production of high added value steels.
