Abstract:
A molten metal inclusion test apparatus includes a spectroscopic appliance for gathering data indicative of the contents of a quantity of molten metal. Laser induced emissions provide spectral data based on the elements present in the melt. Analysis of a series of samplings, or “shots” of laser induced emissions indicates a presence of elements above a background or expected level. These elements appear as spikes in a graphical rendering of the spectral data, defined by a wavelength of the detected element. Correlation of the elements detected in the same shot indicates a composition of the inclusion, typically a particle of an extraneous compound in the melt. Such spectral analysis provides immediate feedback about melt quality, allowing corrective measures to be taken prior to casting.

Claim (Index 13):
An inclusion measurement device, comprising:\n a heat resistant probe adapted for insertion into molten metal for inducing a spectroscopic emission from the molten metal, the emission defining inclusions in the molten metal based on concurrent appearance of wavelengths corresponding to elements of a compound in the inclusion; and a detection circuit configured for receiving spectroscopic data based on the emission, the data defining peaks corresponding to elements in the inclusion, the detection circuit adapted to identify peaks indicative of the elements in the inclusion.
