    1) Slivers are small, loose defects that detach from steel slabs during rolling. 2) Slivers cause yield loss, time loss, and require defective portions to be cut again. 3) Analysis of three months of production data found aluminum spray marking on slabs was the primary root cause of sliver defects, contributing to around 80% of issues. Reducing marking font size and pressure helped address the problem.

    SLIVER

    A slivers is a small or long and loose defect which is


    dis-attached to the parent slab

    1
    DEFFECT IMPACT

    Every slab has to be scarfed or conditioned

    Yield loss

    Time loss

    Defective portion has to be cut again in coil stage

    SEM Analysis of the affected sample

    Edge sliver defective sample are analysed under scanning electron microscope(SEM)

    Al and FeO were major element found form sem analysis
    Observation-in Run back slab

    Semi rolled slab 170mm thickness run back slab form the furnace after high pressure descaling
    observed that the aluminium spray marking is not removed and marking remained even after
    ~21/2hrs of residence time in furnace at ~11000c and 170 mm reduction. 5
    CAUSE AND EFFECT DIAGRAM

    For finding out root cause of the edge slivers fish bone diagram has drawn. Main cause for edge

    DATA ANAYLISIS ON THE ROOT CAUSE
    PARETO CHART

    After drawing Pareto chart, we came to know that there are 3 causes
    contributing for the problem. In that aluminum spray marking is the major
    contributing causes (80%)

    11
    RESULT AND DISCUSSION

    Analysis of the data and trails showed that the defect is generating
    from Aluminium marking on the slab.
    Hence marking font size is reduced to 100 mm to 80 mm in these
    grades.
    Also marking machine pressure reduced
