A grinding method is provided in which abrasive is projected onto a steel product through a nozzle to perform grinding thereon such as in a continuous casting process or in a subsequent process, wherein high-pressure water jet mixed with the abrasive is projected onto the surface of the steel product to grind defects on the surface, etc. thereof. A grinding system for executing this grinding method is also provided, the system including supply sources of high-pressure liquid and abrasive, a nozzle device connected with these supply sources, an abrasive recovery device for recovering the used abrasive as needed and restoring the same to the supply sources, and combined detection systems.

[ We claim:] [1.] A method for removing surface defect portions on semi-processed steel products including slabs, billets and blooms produced in at least one of a continuous casting stage and stages subsequent to a continuous casting stage, comprising:(a) detecting surface defect portions on said semi-processed steel products produced in at least one of a continuous casting stage and stages subsequent to said continuous casting stage;(b) ejecting at least one jet of fine abrasive particles mixed with high-pressure-water onto said surface defect portions in response to detection of said surface defect portions to remove said surface defect portions, said at least one jet of said fine abrasive particles being fed at a rate of not lower than 0.5 Kg/min., and said high-pressure water being supplied at a pressure of not lower than 1000 Kgf/cm.sup.2 and at a flow rate of not lower than 2 lit./min., said abrasive particles and high-pressure water being either mixed with each other beforehand in a high-pressure state or mixed within a nozzle head after ejection of the high-pressure water to obtain high-pressure water mixed with abrasive particles, said at least one jet being ejected onto the surface of the steel product to grind the same at a impinging angle of 10.degree. to 170.degree., and with a working distance between the nozzle and the steel surface of not more than 200 mm; and(c) removing and recirculating the abrasive for reuse in step (b), wherein said abrasive particles are fed at a rate of not lower than 0.5 Kg/min., and said high-pressure water is supplied at a pressure of not lower than 1000 Kgf/cm.sup.2 and at a flow rate of not lower than 2 lit./min., said abrasive particles and high-pressure water being either mixed with each other beforehand in a high-pressure state or mixed within a nozzle head after ejection of the high-pressure water to obtain a high-pressure water mixed with abrasive particles, said high-pressure water being ejected onto the surface of the steel product to grind the same at an impinging angle of 10.degree. to 170.degree. and with a working distance between the nozzle and the steel surface of not more than 200 mm.
