Auto­matic Slag Detec­tion in Steel Produc­tion - SLAG-DETECT Non-contact slag detection with infrared thermography in steel production • Clear visual representation of tapping and deslagging processes through excellent image resolution • Precise distinction between steel and slag • Function for automated detection of the tapping end • Comprehensively adjustable data reposting on system PC or data server • Different variants of interfaces for the integration into process control system Slag Detec­tion System with LW Infrared Camera for Highest Detec­tion Reli­ab­ility Steel and slag in the process of steel production have different features with regard to radiation physics in the infrared spectral range. Thus, by means of an infrared camera, it is possible to determine without any contact and in real time which of both materials is the current main constituent of the tapping, respectively the deslagging stream coming out of the converter or an electric furnace. For this purpose, the relevant process of steel production is constantly monitored with an infared camera whose sensitivity range involves a long-wave infrared range of (8 ... 12) µm. In this wavelength range appears the highest contrast between steel and slag resulting in the best possible selectivity on material detection.
