How does an Automated Rating Solution for Steel Inclusions Work?

The rating of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) to determine steel quality is critical for many industrial applications. For an efficient and cost-effective steel quality evaluation, an automated NMI rating solution offers clear advantages when compared to manual rating. Using an optical microscope and sophisticated software, automated NMI rating delivers reliable and consistent results for multiple, entire samples which are independent of the user. An example of an automated NMI rating solution which can help steel producers and parts manufacturers save time and money is the Steel Quality Solution Suite from Leica Microsystems.
