STEEL components Assessment

using a novel non-destructive Residual stress ultrasonic
technology

STEELAR’s main goal is to develop and validate an innovative non-destructive solution, based on a novel ultrasonic EMAT technology, to measure residual stress levels on steel components, providing decision-aiding information to manufacturers.

STEELAR will be able to assess residual stress in:

• Steel rolling rolls during their manufacturing process and in-service life.
• Steel products during different steps of the manufacturing process chain: continuous casting billets and rolled bars.

STEELAR will provide rolling rolls and steel manufacturers with a technology able to ensure their products’ quality, to guarantee safety in steel milling lines and to perform predictive maintenance tasks that will reduce line’s downtime, extend line’s lifetime and minimize production and maintenance costs.
