摘要

A method for evaluating a sheet comprising the steps of casting a sheet and automatically determining characteristics relating to at least one of thickness or shape of the sheet during or immediately after the casting step. The method includes automatically determining chemical composition of the sheet. The method further includes receiving an order for the sheet and retrieving, from a database, specifications based upon the order. Finally, the method includes automatically comparing the determined characteristics to the retrieved specifications to determine the suitability of the sheet for use with the order.
