Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and particularly to a prediction system for predicting the maximum size of DS inclusions in steel by the multiple metallographic method. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of domestic smelting process level, the metallurgical quality level of bearing steel has been further improved. It is more difficult to detect large-size inclusions in steel by traditional rating methods. When evaluating inclusions, the inclusion level data obtained from each factory or each furnace tend to be the same, and it is impossible to further evaluate the control degree of inclusions in each furnace.

[0003] At present, the traditional inclusion rating method is mainly used in the field of iron and steel metallurgy to evaluate inclusions in steel, such as metallographic method, non-destructive testing methods (ultrasonic testing and X-ray flaw detection, etc.), inclusion aggregation detection methods (cold crucible remelting and electron beam remelting, etc.) and fatigue methods. The metallographic method and the inclusion aggregation method can only detect small-volume specimens and are rated according to standards such as GB / T18254-2016 and GB / T10561. Due to the small number of samples, it is difficult to detect large-size inclusions in steel, and it is impossible to evaluate the quality of steel only through partial inspection data for large-volume steel parts; non-destructive testing methods can detect large-volume steel parts, but it is difficult to detect inclusions with a size less than 100μm (the size of inclusions in steel is generally less than 100μm). The fatigue method determines the inclusion size from the fatigue fracture surface, which is accurate but time-consuming and costly. The grade and the length of non-metallic inclusions increase exponentially and are continuous data, while the detected non-metallic inclusions are highly accidental and the data is discrete. In actual inspection and analysis, it is impossible to inspect all steel materials to obtain detailed inclusion information, and it is difficult to detect the maximum size inclusions in steel by special methods. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the maximum non-metallic inclusions in steel by a specific method and deduce unknown data from known data. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, a prediction system for predicting the maximum size of DS inclusions in steel by the multiple metallographic method is provided. The present invention mainly uses a data input unit, a data verification unit, a data sorting unit, a cumulative probability calculation unit, a distribution function calculation unit, a maximum length prediction unit and a visualization statistics unit to realize the prediction of the maximum size inclusions in metal.

[0005] The technical means adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0006] A prediction system for predicting the maximum size of DS inclusions in steel by the multiple metallographic method, comprising: a data input unit, a data verification unit, a data sorting unit, a cumulative probability calculation unit, a distribution function calculation unit, a maximum length prediction unit and a visualization statistics unit, wherein:

[0007] The data input unit is used to take the size data of DS-type inclusions obtained by the metallographic inspection method after the specimen is polished and inspected as input data and input it into the prediction system;

[0008] The data verification unit is used to perform a quantity statistics on the input data in the data input unit, calculate the maximum value, minimum value, average value, and standard deviation in the input data, and verify the discrete abnormal data in the input data;

[0009] The data sorting unit is used to sort the verified inclusion size data in ascending order and store it in the sorting area;

[0010] The cumulative probability calculation unit is used to check the occurrence probability of the inclusion size data;

[0011] The distribution function calculation unit is used to calculate the maximum distribution parameters δ mom and λ mom and speculate to obtain the maximum value of the probability of the inclusion size measurement group;

[0012] The maximum length prediction unit is used to calculate the average value of the inclusion length under different probabilities according to the speculation result of the distribution function calculation unit, determine the 95% confidence interval of each data point, and predict the maximum size of the inclusions;

[0013] The visualization statistics unit is used to plot the inclusion maximum length analysis chart and distribution chart for the data calculated and predicted in the maximum length prediction unit.

[0014] Further, the data input unit randomly cuts an inclusion specimen at the position of half of the radius of the rolled material, performs heat treatment on the specimen, then performs annealing, quenching, and low-temperature tempering, checks multiple metallographic polished surfaces for each specimen, and records the inclusions with the maximum size for each specimen.

[0015] Further, the standard limit value in the data verification unit uses the Grubbs test method to take the critical value k in the embedded database, performs data verification according to the amount of test data. If both the maximum limit value and the minimum limit value are less than the standard limit value, there is no discrete abnormal data in the test data value.

[0016] Further, use the cumulative probability calculation unit to calculate the cumulative probability:

[0017]

[0018] Among them, P i represents the cumulative probability, F(y i ) and each data point X iCorrespond to each other; N represents the number of inclusions inspected, and the reduced variable Red.Var = -ln(-lnP).

[0019] Furthermore, the distribution function calculation unit uses the average inclusion length value and the standard deviation calculated in the data verification unit to calculate the maximum distribution parameters δmom and λmom of the maximum value as the initial calculation values, and uses the planning summation function SOLVER to calculate the positioning parameter δ ML and the scale parameter λ ML .

[0020] Furthermore, in the maximum length prediction unit:

[0021] Calculate each data point on the average line:

[0022] x i = δ ML (Red.Var) + λ ML = δ ML yi + λ ML

[0023] where x i represents the length of each inclusion detection; δ ML is the positioning parameter, λ ML is the scale parameter, and Red.Var is the reduced variable;

[0024] Determine the 95% confidence interval points of each data point:

[0025]

[0026] 95% CL = ±2SE(x)

[0027]

[0028] where x low represents the predicted minimum inclusion length, and x high represents the predicted maximum inclusion length, and the maximum distribution state of the inclusions is obtained. Calculate the predicted maximum size of the inclusions under different cumulative probabilities.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0030] The prediction system for predicting the maximum size of DS inclusions in steel by the multiple metallographic method provided by the present invention uses a data input unit, a data verification unit, a data sorting unit, a cumulative probability calculation unit, a distribution function calculation unit, a maximum length prediction unit, and a visualization statistics unit to realize the prediction of the maximum size inclusions in metals, and intuitively displays the prediction results with analysis diagrams and distribution diagrams.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0039] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in accordance with actual proportional relationships. Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the authorized specification.
