  By Rakesh Prasad, Lokesh Pachauri, Alok Singh, Madhav Rawat, Hardeep Singh, Vijay S. Katta

  Abstract: The present work is aimed to improve quality control in steel production using SEM imaging and machine learning. High-resolution SEM images of iron ore pellets, primarily composed of hematite and magnetite, are analyzed to understand their microstructural features, which significantly impact pellet performance during reduction processes. Traditional microstructure analysis is manual, time- consuming, and prone to inconsistencies. This study proposes an automated approach using K-Means Clustering, Canny Edge Detection, DBSCAN, …
