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 1):
A method of inclusion testing for molten metal, comprising:\n receiving a plurality of spectroscopic shots of a molten metal, each shot defined by data gathered from an induced emission from the molten metal; identifying an aberration in the data indicative of an inclusion, the inclusion defined by a magnitude and a wavelength, the wavelength corresponding to an element; and determining, based on a plurality of identified aberrations, a quantity of the element denoted by the identified aberrations.
