I am a quality manager at a steel mill
spectro for chemical analysis, mechanical testing, product dimensions, laser inspection of surface quality (aka no FOD) and sometimes ultrasonic testing of internal quality are typical test requirements - surface FOD may affect subsequent customer applications- forming,welding & painting as well as surface appearance - especially for critical structural applications
many steel standards specify that repair (welding and/or grinding) can be carried out at the surface by the supplier - to a maximum specified depth and may need to be negotiated between customer and supplier
cheers
