Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of prediction of the mechanical properties of metal products, and in particular to an artificial intelligence-based method and system for detecting the mechanical properties of metal products. Background Art

[0002] Artificial intelligence-based methods and systems for testing the mechanical properties of metal products generally refer to the use of artificial intelligence technology to conduct a comprehensive analysis of data generated during the manufacturing and use of metal products (such as process parameters, material characteristics and test results) to predict and evaluate their mechanical properties (such as strength, hardness and ductility), thereby replacing or assisting traditional destructive tests, and achieving technical means and tool systems for rapid performance determination, quality anomaly traceability and manufacturing process optimization. They are widely used in manufacturing fields such as aviation, automobiles, and rail transit that have strict requirements on metal properties.

[0003] However, in the existing methods for testing the mechanical properties of metal products, there is a technical problem that the process information is disconnected from the final performance, which makes it difficult to trace the material causes and process paths in the test results; in the existing material bulk structure performance analysis process, there is a technical problem that the continuous influence of the process on the evolution of the material microstructure is ignored, resulting in poor generalization of the constitutive model; in the existing mechanical performance analysis process, there is a technical problem that the performance prediction results are not interpretable and lacks modeling support for the causal chain between process and performance; in the existing metal product performance analysis process, there are technical problems such as data fragmentation, isolated links, and the inability of prediction results to directly serve quality control decisions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method and system for detecting the mechanical properties of metal products based on artificial intelligence. In view of the technical problem that in the existing methods for detecting the mechanical properties of metal products, there is a disconnect between the process information and the final performance, which makes it difficult to trace the material causes and process paths of the detection results, this solution creatively proposes a dual-path analysis framework that combines material constitutive modeling and performance prediction. It can predict the performance range based on historical process data and material characteristics before detection, and combine the model to deduce and analyze the source of deviation after detection, realizing the shift from "result judgment" to "cause explanation" detection mode, greatly improving the detection of quality anomalies. Positioning and response efficiency; In view of the technical problem that the continuous influence of the process on the evolution of the material microstructure is ignored in the existing material structure performance analysis process, resulting in poor generalization of the constitutive model, this solution introduces a "structural evolution improvement factor" to explicitly incorporate dynamic processes such as phase change behavior and tissue morphology changes into the model parameters, and combines multi-factor training strategies to achieve accurate prediction of the stress-strain behavior of materials under different thermal paths. It is especially suitable for the performance analysis scenarios of metal materials such as steel and aluminum alloys that are manufactured in parallel with multiple specifications and multiple paths; In view of the fact that the performance prediction results are not interpretable and lack of process in the existing mechanical performance analysis process, this solution introduces a "structural evolution improvement factor" to explicitly incorporate dynamic processes such as phase change behavior and tissue morphology changes into the model parameters, and combines multi-factor training strategies to achieve accurate prediction of the stress-strain behavior of materials under different thermal paths. It is especially suitable for the performance analysis scenarios of metal materials such as steel and aluminum alloys that are manufactured in parallel with multiple specifications and multiple paths. —Technical issues in the modeling support of the causal chain between performances. Traditional methods often use black box prediction models. Although the error is controllable, it cannot answer the question of “why the strength is lower than expected” and it is difficult to guide the direction of process optimization. This solution constructs a “metal product mechanical causal diagram” based on process path and material state, and embeds a reinforcement learning strategy network to dynamically adjust the prediction strategy from the causal chain, and realize the “contribution factor weight” analysis behind the performance results, thus possessing the triple capabilities of “prediction, explanation and optimization”, significantly improving the performance assurance and design feedback efficiency of complex structural parts before service; in response to the existing problems of data fragmentation, link isolation, and prediction in the performance analysis process of metal products, this solution can effectively solve the problems of data fragmentation, link isolation, and prediction in the performance analysis process of metal products. To address the technical problem that the test results cannot directly serve the quality control decision-making, this solution realizes a closed-loop analysis of the entire chain from raw data to performance evaluation by constructing an integrated linkage system of four modules: "data fusion - material modeling - performance prediction - detection and evaluation". In the system structure designed by the present invention, each module can operate independently and achieve efficient collaboration through a unified data interface and scheduling logic. It supports the rapid injection of real-time collected process parameters (such as temperature field and stress state) into the model for online performance estimation, and combines actual detection data for deviation correction and feedback learning, thereby constructing an intelligent detection system with the self-circulation capability of "prediction-detection-correction".

[0042] The mechanical property detection module is used for detecting the mechanical properties of metal products, and obtains comprehensive reference data of the mechanical property detection of metal products through the mechanical property detection of metal products.

[0043] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above scheme are as follows:

[0044] (1) In the existing methods for testing the mechanical properties of metal products, there is a technical problem that the process information is disconnected from the final performance, which makes it difficult to trace the material causes and process paths. For example, in actual production, when a batch of cold-rolled steel plates shows performance fluctuations in the tensile test, traditional testing methods can only feedback abnormal results, but cannot clearly determine whether the problem is caused by alloy ratio deviation, excessive annealing temperature, or insufficient release of surface stress. This makes quality control extremely dependent on experience and lacks replicability. This solution creatively proposes a dual-path analysis framework that combines material constitutive modeling and performance prediction. It can predict the performance range based on historical process data and material characteristics before testing, and combine model deduction to analyze the source of deviation after testing, realizing the transition from "result judgment" to "cause explanation" testing mode, greatly improving the efficiency of locating and responding to quality anomalies;

[0045] (2) In the existing analysis of the structural properties of materials, there is a technical problem that the continuous influence of the process on the evolution of the material microstructure is ignored, resulting in poor generalization of the constitutive model. For example, in the manufacture of hot-formed high-strength steel, different cooling paths will significantly affect the final ratio of martensite to bainite, thereby affecting the yield strength and plasticity. Traditional constitutive models often only fit the material behavior based on a single temperature or strain rate curve, ignoring the intermediary variable of organizational evolution, and are difficult to meet the modeling requirements under multi-batch and asynchronous process conditions. This solution introduces a "structural evolution improvement factor" to explicitly incorporate dynamic processes such as phase transformation behavior and organizational morphology changes into the model parameters. Combined with a multi-factor training strategy, it achieves accurate prediction of the stress-strain behavior of materials under different thermal paths. It is particularly suitable for the performance analysis of metal materials such as steel and aluminum alloys that are manufactured in parallel with multiple specifications and multiple paths;

[0046] (3) In the existing mechanical performance analysis process, there are technical problems such as the lack of interpretability of performance prediction results and the lack of modeling support for the causal chain between process and performance. For example, in complex curved die forgings or welded structures, mechanical properties are not only determined by material parameters, but also affected by spatial characteristics such as the distribution of stress concentration zones and the width of the heat-affected zone of the weld. Traditional methods often use black box prediction models. Although the error is controllable, it cannot answer the question "why the strength is lower than expected" and it is difficult to guide the direction of process optimization. This solution constructs a "metal product mechanical causal diagram" based on process path and material state, and embeds a reinforcement learning strategy network to dynamically adjust the prediction strategy from the causal chain, realizing the "contribution factor weight" analysis behind the performance results, thereby possessing the triple capabilities of "prediction, explanation and optimization", significantly improving the performance assurance and design feedback efficiency of complex structural parts before service.

[0047] (4) In order to solve the technical problems of data fragmentation, isolated links and inability of prediction results to directly serve quality control decision-making in the existing metal product performance analysis process, this solution realizes a closed-loop analysis of the entire chain from raw data to performance evaluation by constructing an integrated linkage system of four modules: "data fusion - material modeling - performance prediction - detection and evaluation". In the system structure designed by the present invention, each module can operate independently and achieve efficient collaboration through a unified data interface and scheduling logic. It supports the rapid injection of real-time collected process parameters (such as temperature field and stress state) into the model for online performance estimation. At the same time, it combines actual detection data for deviation correction and feedback learning, thereby constructing an intelligent detection system with the self-circulation capability of "prediction - detection - correction".

[0086] By performing the above operations, we can address the technical problem that in the existing material bulk structure and performance analysis process, the continuous influence of the process on the evolution of the material's microstructure is ignored, resulting in poor generalization of the constitutive model. For example, in the manufacture of hot-formed high-strength steel, different cooling paths will significantly affect the final martensite-bainite ratio, thereby affecting the yield strength and plasticity. Traditional constitutive models often only fit the material behavior based on a single temperature or strain rate curve, ignoring the intermediary variable of tissue evolution, and are unable to meet the modeling requirements under multi-batch and asynchronous process conditions. This solution introduces a "structural evolution improvement factor" to explicitly incorporate dynamic processes such as phase transformation behavior and tissue morphology changes into the model parameters. Combined with a multi-factor training strategy, it achieves accurate prediction of the stress-strain behavior of materials under different thermal paths. It is particularly suitable for performance analysis scenarios of metal materials such as steel and aluminum alloys that are manufactured in parallel with multiple specifications and multiple paths.

[0114] By performing the above operations, we can address the technical problems in the existing mechanical performance analysis process, such as the lack of interpretability of performance prediction results and the lack of modeling support for the causal chain between process and performance. For example, in complex curved die forgings or welded structures, the mechanical properties are not only determined by material parameters, but also affected by spatial characteristics such as the distribution of stress concentration areas and the width of the heat-affected zone of the weld. Traditional methods often use black box prediction models. Although the error is controllable, it cannot answer the question "why the strength is lower than expected" and it is difficult to guide the direction of process optimization. This solution constructs a "metal product mechanical causal diagram" based on process path and material state, and embeds a reinforcement learning strategy network to dynamically adjust the prediction strategy from the causal chain, realizing the "contribution factor weight" analysis behind the performance results, thereby possessing the triple capabilities of "prediction, explanation and optimization", significantly improving the performance assurance and design feedback efficiency of complex structural parts before service.

[0115] Example 5, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 This embodiment is based on the above embodiment. In step S4, the mechanical property test of the metal product is used to combine the model output with the actual test data for comprehensive analysis and testing. Specifically, the mechanical property prediction parameters and the actual metal product test experimental samples are combined to perform comparative analysis, error analysis and prediction deviation analysis to obtain comprehensive reference data for mechanical property testing.

[0116] Example 6, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment is based on the above embodiment. The present invention provides an artificial intelligence-based metal product mechanical property detection system, including a data fusion analysis module, a material constitutive property prediction module, a mechanical property quality prediction module and a metal product mechanical property detection module;

[0117] The data fusion analysis module is used for data fusion analysis, obtains metal product feature optimization data through data fusion analysis, and sends the metal product feature optimization data to the material constitutive performance prediction module;

[0118] The material constitutive performance prediction module is used to predict the material constitutive performance, obtain material constitutive prediction parameters through the material constitutive performance prediction, and send the material constitutive prediction parameters to the mechanical performance quality prediction module;

[0119] The mechanical performance quality prediction module is used for mechanical performance quality prediction, obtains mechanical performance prediction parameters through mechanical performance quality prediction, and sends the mechanical performance prediction parameters to the mechanical performance detection module;

[0120] The mechanical property detection module is used for detecting the mechanical properties of metal products, and obtains comprehensive reference data of the mechanical property detection of metal products through the mechanical property detection of metal products.

[0121] By performing the above operations, in order to address the technical problems in the existing metal product performance analysis process, such as data fragmentation, isolated links, and prediction results that cannot directly serve quality control decisions, this solution constructs an integrated linkage system of four modules: "data fusion - material modeling - performance prediction - detection and evaluation", thereby realizing a closed-loop analysis of the entire chain from raw data to performance evaluation. In the system structure designed by the present invention, each module can operate independently and achieve efficient collaboration through a unified data interface and scheduling logic. It supports the rapid injection of real-time collected process parameters (such as temperature field and stress state) into the model for online performance estimation, and at the same time combines actual detection data for deviation correction and feedback learning, thereby constructing an intelligent detection system with "prediction-detection-correction" self-circulation capability.
