Abstract

In the hot-rolling process of steel strip, cooling generates a surface oxide known as mill scale. If mill scale is not ultimately adequately removed, it compromises the adhesion of subsequent coatings, accelerating corrosion. Typically, mill scale removal is achieved via acid pickling, which, while effective, produces toxic waste and risks surface damage if excessively applied. Hence, accurately determining mill-scale thickness is important for pickling optimization, ensuring steel durability and minimizing waste. In this study, we employ THz time-of-flight tomography, a nondestructive testing method, to measure mill-scale thickness. Due to the sometimes optically thin mill-scale layers at terahertz frequencies, a back-propagation neural network is used to processes for fast, precise thickness estimation. This study explores two neural network strategies: a regression model and a classification model. Both utilize THz data to predict mill-scale thickness, typically ranging between 5 to 15 μm. The regression approach achieves a root mean square error (RMSE) of approximately 1.6 μm, while the classification approach sorts samples into three thickness categories with 87 % accuracy on testing data.
