We present a method to measure surface depth profile using laser scattering geometry. This technique is used to analyze the focus effect on microscopic analyses of steel inclusions using the EN-10247 standard. The results presented herein offer promising new perspectives for the metal manufacturing industry through cost-effective solutions that attain quasi in-line process inspection capabilities.
