Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a flaw with high S/N ratio by providing a detector in optical arrangement so that the reflection intensity of white light source cast from a light source becomes a specific intensity of the light intensity of normal reflection direction for the part without flaw. CONSTITUTION:The white light source cast from a rod shape light source supplied electricity from a power source 3 on an inspected matter 1 is scattered by the inspected matter and a part of it is introduced and photographed with a one-dimensional photographing device 4. At that moment, noize component due to radiation energy from the high temperature surface of the inspected matter 1 is cut by an optical filter 5. If a flaw is on the inspected matter 1, by placing the device 4 in an optical arrangement so as to be below 30% intensity of the normal reflection direction intensity, the light intensity from the position with flaw becomes stronger than that without flaw and thus, the detected signal intensity drastically changes. And the flaw with low reflectivity generated on the inspected matter 1 can not be detected with the device 4 and thus, is detected with the photographing device 10. The detected signal is A/D converted 6 in the devices 4 and 10, processed 7 for the signal, processed for the image with an image processing device, the kind of the flaw and the grade are defined and displayed on a display 9.

In such a conventional technique, the optical arrangement such as the irradiation angle of the light source and the light receiving angle of the detector has not been clarified. The only option was to adjust and determine the optical configuration. However, it is extremely difficult to determine such an optical arrangement in an actual line due to a bad environment or the like, and sufficient examination cannot be performed. Furthermore, since it changes with a certain width depending on the conditions of the line at that time, such as the temperature of the running steel plate and the type of steel plate,
Preliminary determination of the optical arrangement in a laboratory is extremely important when determining the optical arrangement corresponding to the actual line.

However, when white light is projected onto the surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet, a portion having no surface defect has a strong intensity in the specular reflection direction as shown in FIG. It is known that the reflection distribution has a certain value. on the other hand,
When white light is projected on a defective part, the reflection state changes greatly depending on the shape of the defect, and the reflection state greatly depends on the shape of the defect. As a result, the diffused state is diffused as a whole, and even on the surface with no defects, even in the direction of low reflected intensity,
As shown in (b), a relatively high reflection intensity is obtained.

From the above knowledge, the present invention is characterized in that the detector is installed in such an optical arrangement that the light intensity is less than 30% of the light intensity in the specular reflection direction in the defect-free portion. It is an inspection device. According to this apparatus, the light intensity from the diffusely reflected light from the defect portion becomes higher than the light intensity which becomes a noise component from the surface without defects, and a high S / N can be obtained. In the case of a steel sheet, oxide scale adheres to the surface, and in particular, when a defect occurs at a high temperature, the oxide scale may adhere to the defect part thickly. The reflectance may be significantly reduced, and even if white light is projected from the light source, the defective portion may become dark. Further, even in a defect such as a red scale, which is generally called a scale defect, the reflectance of the defect surface is also lowered, and the defect portion becomes dark. In such a case, the detector is installed in an optical arrangement such that the light intensity is 30% to 90% of the light intensity in the specular reflection direction. According to this device, the strength of the peripheral portion having no defect is high, and the strength of the defective portion is low.
With N, it becomes possible to detect the darkening defect as described above.

Such an imaging experiment was repeated with respect to the sample of the smallest size in various optical arrangements to examine the S / N, and the results shown in FIG. 4 were obtained. In FIG. 4, the S / N is set to 1 in the case of the optical arrangement in which the signal of the defective portion cannot be discriminated. It can be seen that there is reflection intensity from the defective portion even when there is almost no reflection intensity in the defect-free portion compared to the light intensity in the regular reflection direction. It was found that the light intensity was less than 30% in the specular reflection direction when the detectable S / N was set to 1.5 or more as a reference for determining the optical arrangement that enables the defect detection.

Further, with respect to the defect in which the scale is thickly attached to the surface of the defect portion and the reflectance of the defect portion is low, various optical arrangements were examined. FIG. 5A shows a signal (upper diagram) when a one-dimensional image pickup device is installed in an optical arrangement such that the light intensity is 80% of the light intensity in the regular reflection direction and an image of a defect is shown, It is a signal (lower figure) obtained by applying a digital filter to the signal.

When the image is picked up at the optical arrangement position, the signal intensity from the defect is not so different from the noise in the peripheral portion, and the defect cannot be clearly seen. The determination of S / N is the same as in the case of FIG. 3, but in the case of such a defect, the signal of the defective portion becomes lower than the signals of the surroundings, so that the signal with a digital filter has a negative intensity.

Therefore, a defect having a surface reflectance lower than that of a defect-free portion, such as a defect in which scale is attached to the surface of the defect portion or a defect called scale flaw such as red scale, is different. The detectors are installed in two optical arrangements, and at least one or more detectors have a light intensity of less than 30% of the light intensity in the specular reflection direction.

According to the present invention, the detector is arranged in such an optical arrangement that the luminous flux is projected from the light source to the defect-free portion of the surface of the material to be inspected and the reflected light intensity is less than 30%. By installing, it becomes possible to lower the reflected light intensity of a portion having no defect, which becomes a noise component, as compared with the reflected light intensity of the defective portion, and it becomes possible to detect a defect with a high S / N. Further, the detectors are installed in two different optical arrangements, and the second detector is set to 30% to 90% of the light intensity in the specular reflection direction.
By installing in an optical arrangement that gives a light intensity of%,
It becomes possible to detect a darkening defect having a low reflectance at a high S / N ratio by increasing the intensity of the defect-free peripheral portion and decreasing the intensity of the defect portion. Therefore,
It is possible to detect not only unevenness defects called surface defects but also non-concave defects called scale defects with high S / N.
