This module enables you to evaluate and rate non-metallic inclusions in steel (Oxides, Sulfides and Nitrides). The following standards are supported: ASTM E45, ISO 4967, JIS G0555, GB/T 10561, EN 10247, SEP 1571 und DIN 50602.

Overview

NMI Analysis (Non-Metallic Inclusion Analysis) is a module for fast inspection and evaluation of steel cleanliness. You can use it to detect and analyze steel impurities like non-metallic inclusions originating from the production process. The module is a standard based, automated workflow solution for specimen acquisition, inclusion classification, inclusion rating, result documentation and archiving. It offers interactive result views for reliable inclusion inspection and revision. Therefore it is part of a dedicated system solution focused on efficient steel cleanliness analysis and consisting of a microscope, motorized scanning stage, digital camera, high-end workstation. The module is used for quality control of steel products.

The NMI Analysis module further supports you analyzing the steel cleanliness of your products. It uses different standards with methods calculating the inclusion content based on standard templates which can be adapted in the standard template editor. The result is a set of standard specific characteristic values describing the steel cleanliness per inclusion type. The result is presented in the report evaluation document. The module displays for each selected standard the global results with an overview of detected oxides, sulfides and nitrides as well as artifacts.

In the next step, you can perform a detailed inspection of the complete specimen using a grid of standard measuring fields.
