The Wrap-Up Meeting of the STEELAR project was held at Innerspec’s facilities in Madrid on the 4th of July, 2024, by the consortium partners. During the meeting, the consortium partners reviewed the achieved milestones of the project and laid the groundwork for the use of the system in different manufacturing and inspection environments.
All consortium partners had the opportunity to witness a live demonstration of the system in operation, showcasing its capabilities in monitoring stress in steel structures for ensuring a better quality control, allowing manufacturers to optimize processing techniques and improve steel product reliability.
The STEELAR project has been funded by the European Commission under the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) Programme, aiming to develop and validate an innovative non-destructive solution based on ultrasonic EMAT technology to measure residual stress levels on steel components, providing decision-aiding information to manufacturers.
The STEELAR consortium consists of five experts within the steel sector: Innerspec, a world leader in the development of high-power ultrasonic instrumentation for NDT applications; Valji, a rolling roll manufacturer; Sidenor, a leader in the European steel industry for the production of special steel long products and one of the main producers of forged and cast pieces; DBV, a mechanical integrator expert; and MMV, a research center specializing in metallurgy engineering.
