本建议书适用于第二阶段SBIR。 的主要目的 研究是开发一种断层扫描仪， 热轧钢板的全面在线测量 正在制造。 第一阶段研究调查了 这个概念，并取得了圆满成功。 第二阶段研究将 开发并演示钢板扫描仪原型。 x射线源 和检测器技术将得到优化， 适用于进行精确、高速、有限角度的层析成像 测量将被定义。 一系列钢板幻影， 足以对组件进行详尽的性能评估 也将得到发展。 这项研究可能会产生重大影响。 对钢板制造技术的贡献。

This proposal is for a Phase II SBIR. The primary objective of the research is to develop a tomography gauge capable of making comprehensive, on-line measurements of hot-rolled sheet steel as it is being manufactured. Phase I research investigated the feasibility of this concept and was fully successful. The Phase II research will develop and demonstrate a prototype sheet steel scanner. X-ray source and detector technology will be optimized and candidate algorithms suitable for making precise, high-speed, limited- angle tomography measurements will be defined. A series of sheet steel phantoms, sufficient for exhaustive performance evaluation of the components will also be developed. This research could make a significant contribution to the technology of sheet steel manufacture.
