[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a cold strip surface quality evaluation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0048] Step S110: Obtain the thickness of the cold strip sample to be tested.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cold strip to be tested is a surface-grinded cold strip. Samples of a predetermined size, for example, 20 mm x 20 mm, can be randomly sampled along the strip's rolling direction. Sampling along the rolling direction ensures that the test results truly reflect the strip's performance in its primary operating direction, ensuring data reliability and process compatibility. Sample thickness can be measured using a vernier caliper.

[0050] Step S120 , determining a region to be detected on the sample and a plurality of target residues on the surface of the region to be detected; and detecting the length of each target residue.

[0051] The target residue is a residue containing at least one of aluminum oxide and silicon oxide.

[0052] In this embodiment, a random area to be tested is determined on the sample. For example, a 10 mm x 10 mm square is marked along the rolling direction of the sample using a stylus. The sample is then ultrasonically treated in an alcohol solution for 5 minutes, followed by drying with a hair dryer. Ultrasonic treatment removes interference from residues other than the target residue.

[0053] Next, place the sample under an electron microscope for observation. Adjust the microscope's focus and contrast to ensure clear visibility at a 500x field of view. The initial field of view can be adjusted to the upper left corner of the square area to be inspected, using 500x magnification for a preliminary screening of the area. During this initial screening, search for target residues from left to right and from top to bottom along the rolling direction. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a detection field of view for preliminary screening provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, select the top, middle, and bottom positions from top to bottom, and screen each position from left to right three times. If suspected target residues are found in the initial screening, they can be confirmed using 2000x magnification. If the residue's morphology at 2000x magnification confirms that the suspected residue is the target residue, use the measurement software provided by the electron microscope to measure the length of the residue. If the residue's morphology cannot confirm whether the suspected residue is the target residue, use energy spectrum analysis to verify the residue's composition. If the residue is confirmed to be aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or a mixture of the two, measure the residue's length. Record the number of target residues and their corresponding lengths.

[0054] During surface grinding of a cold strip, abrasive grains from the grinding wheel are dislodged due to wear. Some of these dislodged grains become embedded in the surface of the cold strip, forming target residues. Since grinding wheels are primarily composed of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or a mixture of the two, the target residues are likely composed of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or a mixture of the two. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can detect micron-level residues, complementing visual inspection and enabling higher-precision quality control. For complex surface impurities and residues on cold strip, visual inspection alone cannot distinguish the residue types. The SEM's energy spectrum analysis function can identify impurities and residues of varying composition, allowing for individual counts of target residues resulting from grinding. By examining three fields of view within a 10mm x 10mm inspection area, a scientifically sound residue profile for the entire sample is obtained, improving inspection efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, step S110 includes:

[0056] The single-point thicknesses of multiple detection points on the sample of the cold strip blank to be detected are obtained; and the average value of all the single-point thicknesses is used as the thickness of the sample of the cold strip blank to be detected.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, a vernier caliper can be used to measure the thickness of the sample. For example, the thickness of three test points can be randomly measured, and the average thickness of the three test points can be calculated as the thickness of the sample, so that the measured thickness is more realistic.

[0058] Step S130: Determine the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected based on the thickness, length, and the amount of target residues.

[0059] The surface quality grade is used to characterize the severity of contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be inspected by the target residues. The higher the surface quality grade, the more target residues there are on the surface of the cold strip to be inspected.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, when surface grinding a cold strip, a greater downward pressure is applied to thicker cold strips, which results in a greater likelihood of the target residue remaining on the strip. A smaller downward pressure is applied to thinner cold strips, which results in no or less target residue remaining on the strip. Therefore, the surface quality of the cold strip being tested can be evaluated based on thickness, length, and quantity. The surface quality grade can be used to reflect the quality of the surface.

[0061] Optionally, step S130 includes:

[0062] Step S1301: If the thickness is less than a preset thickness threshold, the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected is determined according to the length, quantity and a preset first evaluation standard.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, if the thickness is less than a preset thickness threshold, it indicates that the cold strip to be tested is relatively thin. The surface quality grade of the cold strip to be tested is evaluated based on the length, quantity and the first evaluation criteria for thinner cold strips to be tested.

[0064] Optionally, step S1301 includes:

[0065] The first step is to determine a first number of first target residues whose length is greater than a preset first length threshold and less than or equal to a preset second length threshold;

[0066] Step 2: determining a second number of second target residues having a length greater than a second length threshold and less than or equal to a preset third length threshold;

[0067] Step 3: determining a third number of third target residues having a length greater than a third length threshold; wherein the first length threshold is less than the second length threshold, and the second length threshold is less than the third length threshold;

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the target residues can be classified according to their length, with shorter ones being one category, middle ones being one category, and longer ones being one category. The number of target residues in each category is then counted separately, namely the first number, the second number, and the third number.

[0069] Step 4: Determine the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected based on the first quantity, the second quantity, the third quantity and a preset first evaluation standard.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected is determined according to the amount of each type of target residues and with reference to the first evaluation standard.

[0071] Optionally, the fourth step includes:

[0072] Based on the first evaluation standard, a first evaluation level corresponding to the first quantity, a second evaluation level corresponding to the second quantity, and a third evaluation level corresponding to the third quantity are determined; and the highest evaluation level among the first evaluation level, the second evaluation level, and the third evaluation level is determined as the surface quality level of the cold strip to be tested.

[0073] Among them, the first evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the first target residue. The higher the first evaluation level, the larger the first number; the second evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the second target residue. The higher the second evaluation level, the larger the second number; the third evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the third target residue. The higher the third evaluation level, the larger the third number.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present application, the first evaluation criterion can be used to determine the impact of each type of residue on the surface quality of the cold strip to be inspected based on the amount of each type of target residue. This impact is characterized by an evaluation grade. Finally, the highest evaluation grade among all evaluation grades is determined as the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected.

[0075] For example, the first evaluation criteria are shown in Table 1:

[0076] Table 1

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] As shown in Table 1, to examine the grinding residue on 1.2 mm thick 4J29 cold strip, 20 mm × 20 mm specimens were randomly selected along the rolling direction from the surface-ground 4J29 cold strip. The strip thickness was measured using a vernier caliper, and the average thickness was calculated from three random measurements. The three measured thicknesses were 1.22 mm, 1.24 mm, and 1.22 mm, respectively. Therefore, the average thickness of the sample was 1.22 mm. A 10 mm × 10 mm square was scratched along the rolling direction on the sample using a stylus to serve as the test area. The sample was ultrasonically treated in an alcohol solution for 5 minutes and then dried with a hair dryer. The sample was then placed under an electron microscope for observation. The focus and contrast were adjusted to ensure a clear view of the sample at a 500x field of view. The initial field of view was adjusted to the upper left corner of the test area. A preliminary screening of the test area was performed using 500x magnification, selecting the top, middle, and bottom locations along the rolling direction, and performing three rounds of inspection. Suspected target residues were confirmed using 2000x magnification. Energy spectrum analysis was used, if necessary, to verify the composition of the particles containing the residues. When the residues were confirmed to be aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or a mixture of the two, the length of the residues was measured using the electron microscope's built-in measurement software. The number and length of target residues observed in all fields of view were counted. A statistical analysis revealed that across all fields of view, there were seven target residues with a length of 12 < L ≤ 24, four with a length of 24 < L ≤ 60, and no target residues larger than 60 μm. Since the sample thickness was ≤ 2 mm, the surface quality grade of the sample was rated 3 based on comparison with Table 1.

[0080] Step S1302: If the thickness is greater than or equal to the thickness threshold, the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected is determined according to the length, quantity and a preset second evaluation standard.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, if the thickness is greater than or equal to the thickness threshold, it means that the cold strip to be tested is thicker. Then, the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be tested is evaluated based on the length, quantity and the second evaluation criteria for thicker cold strips to be tested.

[0082] Optionally, step S1302 includes:

[0083] The first step is to determine a fourth number of fourth target residues whose length is greater than a preset fourth length threshold and less than or equal to a preset fifth length threshold.

[0084] The second step is to determine a fifth number of fifth target residues whose length is greater than a fifth length threshold and less than or equal to a preset sixth length threshold.

[0085] Step 3: Determine a sixth number of sixth target residues whose length is greater than a sixth length threshold and less than or equal to a preset seventh length threshold.

[0086] Step 4: Determine the seventh number of seventh target residues whose length is greater than a seventh length threshold.

[0087] Among them, the fourth length threshold is smaller than the fifth length threshold, the fifth length threshold is smaller than the sixth length threshold, and the sixth length threshold is smaller than the seventh length threshold; the fourth length threshold is smaller than the first length threshold, and the seventh length threshold is larger than the third length threshold.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, since target residues are more likely to appear in thicker cold strips to be tested, more categories of target residues can be set for thicker cold strips to be tested, with shorter ones being one category, middle ones being two categories, and longer ones being one category. The number of target residues in each category is then counted separately, namely the fourth number, the fifth number, the sixth number, and the seventh number.

[0089] Step 5: Determine the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected based on the fourth quantity, the fifth quantity, the sixth quantity, the seventh quantity and the preset second evaluation standard.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected is determined according to the amount of each type of target residues and with reference to the second evaluation standard.

[0091] Optionally, the fifth step includes:

[0092] Based on the second evaluation standard, the fourth evaluation level corresponding to the fourth quantity, the fifth evaluation level corresponding to the fifth quantity, the sixth evaluation level corresponding to the sixth quantity, and the evaluation level corresponding to the seventh quantity are determined; and the highest evaluation level among the fourth evaluation level, the fifth evaluation level, the sixth evaluation level, and the seventh evaluation level is determined as the surface quality level of the cold strip to be tested.

[0093] Among them, the fourth evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the fourth target residue. The higher the fourth evaluation level, the larger the fourth number; the fifth evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the fifth target residue. The higher the fifth evaluation level, the larger the fifth number. The sixth evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the sixth target residue. The higher the sixth evaluation level, the larger the sixth number. The seventh evaluation level is used to characterize the severity of the contamination of the surface of the cold strip to be tested by the seventh target residue. The higher the seventh evaluation level, the larger the seventh number.

[0094] In this embodiment of the present application, the second evaluation criterion can be used to determine the impact of each type of residue on the surface quality of the cold strip to be inspected based on the amount of each type of target residue. This impact is characterized by an evaluation grade. Finally, the highest evaluation grade among all evaluation grades is determined as the surface quality grade of the cold strip to be inspected.

[0095] For example, the second evaluation criteria are shown in Table 2:

[0096] Table 2

[0097]

[0098] As shown in Table 2, to examine the grinding residue on 2.5 mm thick 4J29 cold strip, 20 mm × 20 mm specimens were randomly selected along the rolling direction from the surface-ground 4J29 cold strip. The strip thickness was measured using a vernier caliper, and the average thickness was calculated from three random measurements. The three measured thicknesses were 2.52 mm, 2.50 mm, and 2.48 mm, respectively. Therefore, the average thickness of the sample was 2.5 mm. A 10 mm × 10 mm square was scratched along the rolling direction on the sample using a stylus to serve as the test area. The sample was ultrasonically treated in an alcohol solution for 5 minutes and then dried with a hair dryer. The sample was then placed under an electron microscope for observation. The focus and contrast were adjusted to ensure clear visibility at a 500x field of view. The initial field of view was adjusted to the upper left corner of the test area. A preliminary screening of the test area was performed using 500x magnification, selecting the top, middle, and bottom locations along the rolling direction, and performing three rounds of inspection. Suspected target residues were confirmed using 2000x magnification. Energy dispersive spectrometry was used to verify the composition of the particles containing the residues, if necessary. If the residues were confirmed to be aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or a mixture of the two, the length of the residues was measured using the electron microscope's built-in measurement software. The number and length of target residues observed in all fields of view were counted. Across all fields of view, there were four target residues with a diameter of 10 ≤ L ≤ 20, four with a diameter of 20 < L ≤ 50, and no target residues larger than 50 μm. Since the sample thickness was ≥ 2 mm, the surface quality grade of the sample was determined to be Level 2, as compared to Table 2.

[0099] The method in the embodiment of the present application can use a fully automatic scanning electron microscope and an energy spectrum analyzer, and automatically count the number of target residues and automatically measure the length of the target residues through a set field of view movement program and an analysis component program. According to the evaluation criteria in Tables 1 and 2, the surface quality grade corresponding to the target residue is obtained, thereby minimizing the intervention of the inspection personnel. This not only saves manpower, but also improves the objectivity and accuracy of the inspection.

[0100] Based on the same application concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a cold strip surface quality evaluation device, Figure 3This is a structural block diagram of a cold strip surface quality evaluation device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the device 300 includes an acquisition module 301 , a detection module 302 and a determination module 303 .
