Abstract :
The potential and limitations of near-field microwave inspection techniques for detecting various surface defects in rolled steel have been investigated. The focus of this study has been to investigate this potential for tin mill products containing gross and subtle defects including steel induced defects, roll marks, holes, scratches and gouges
