Classification of surface defects on steel.

During the steel production process, it is inevitable that product defects will occur, such as scratches, pitting, cracks, breaks, etc. Some minor defects can still be used and will be sold on the market at a lower price, while severe defects that cannot be used will be returned to the furnace for recycling. Therefore, an inspection system is really necessary to minimize defective products and help manufacturers promptly come up with solutions.

Below is a dataset of 1800 grayscale images divided into 6 types of defects on the steel surface.
