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 14):
The device of  claim 13  further comprising comparison logic in the detection circuit, the comparison logic for identifying elements corresponding to the wavelengths denoted by the spectroscopic data, the comparison logic identifying a magnitude of the peaks corresponding to the elements in the inclusion.
