[0057] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0058] In order to solve the problem that the process design for steel production relies too much on manual trial and error, an embodiment of the present invention provides a steel process design method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0059] S101. Determine target process parameters for target steel during production;
[0060] For example, the target steel material may be IF steel for automobile plates or other steel materials, which are not specifically limited here. The following scheme takes hot-dip galvanized IF steel as an example.
[0061] Furthermore, Python, as a concise, easy-to-read and write programming language, has a wide range of applications in data processing and machine learning. It can help developers quickly build algorithm models, process large-scale data, and implement personalized recommendation functions. In the design and development of intelligent recommendation systems, Python libraries such as Pandas and NumPy can be used for data preprocessing; libraries such as Surprise and scikit-learn provide implementations of various recommendation algorithms, such as collaborative filtering and content recommendation; libraries such as LightFM support hybrid recommendation algorithms that can simultaneously consider user behavior data and item attribute information. This application can be implemented based on Python.
[0062] In one embodiment, room temperature tensile test data of a target steel material under different hot-dip galvanizing process conditions are obtained;
[0063] Preprocessing the room temperature tensile test data to obtain optimized room temperature tensile test data;
[0064] Obtaining the degree of correlation of the impact of the optimized room temperature tensile test data on key performance indicators;
[0065] The optimized room temperature tensile test data having an impact correlation degree greater than a preset standard is determined as the target process parameter.
[0066] For example, this application collects room temperature tensile test data of IF steel under different hot-dip galvanizing process conditions, organizes the data, filters missing values, zero values, outliers, removes duplicates, and other preprocessing to obtain optimized room temperature tensile test data.
[0067] This application analyzes the data through pivot tables, box plots (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2), determine the basic characteristics of the data and provide a data basis for subsequent model selection.
[0068] Furthermore, this application uses correlation analysis and heat maps to determine the degree of correlation between the production process parameters and key performance indicators such as tensile strength, yield strength, A80, R90, and N90. When building the prediction model, these target process parameters with high correlation are prioritized as input features.
[0069] Based on the above scheme, the present invention ensures the representativeness and reliability of the model training data by acquiring and preprocessing the tensile test data under the hot-dip galvanizing process. Data preprocessing includes filtering missing values, outliers and duplicate data to eliminate the interference of noise on model learning; analyzing the correlation between key process parameters and performance indicators through box plots and heat maps, screening out characteristic variables that have a significant impact on performance, and avoiding the risk of overfitting caused by the introduction of irrelevant variables into the model. Determining highly correlated parameters as target process parameters is essentially to extract core influencing factors based on the principle of statistical significance, so that the model focuses on the optimization of key process nodes (such as annealing temperature, coiling temperature, etc.). This step constructs a scientific feature engineering system from the source of the data, which not only reduces the complexity of the model, but also improves the prediction accuracy, provides high-quality training samples for subsequent neural network modeling, and ensures the pertinence and effectiveness of process parameter optimization.
[0070] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0071] The target process parameters are one-hot encoded and normalized to form numerical inputs.
[0072] Exemplarily, the present application performs one-hot encoding on the target process parameters. Due to the different equipment structures of the annealing furnace and the skin-finishing machine of the galvanizing production line, the process code needs to be used as a key input item for model training. Since the target process parameters are character-type data, there are two problems when they are used directly for model training: first, the model cannot directly understand non-numeric inputs; second, the similarity or difference between characters is opaque to the model, which may lead to the inability to correctly learn the intrinsic connection between the processes. Therefore, this application adopts the one-hot encoding method. The basic idea of one-hot encoding is to convert each process code into a vector containing only 0 and 1, where the length of the vector is equal to the total number of samples.
[0073] Furthermore, the goal of normalization is mainly to adjust the numerical range of the data to a specific interval, usually [0, 1] or [-1, 1], but it can also be any other interval that is convenient for model processing. The goal of this process is to eliminate the dimensional differences and scale differences between different features so that different features can be treated equally during the model training process. After normalization, all features are on the same order of magnitude, which can accelerate model convergence, improve the prediction accuracy of the model, prevent gradient explosion or disappearance, and enhance the generalization ability of the model. The present invention uses the max_abs normalization method to process data. The max_abs normalization calculation formula is as follows:
[0074] x′=x / max
[0075] Wherein, x is the original data, x' is the standardized data, and max is the maximum value in the target process parameter data set.
[0076] This application uses the set_Sequential_model() function to construct a simple three-layer neural network: one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer, for a regression problem. The model is configured to learn and predict continuous values from input data using the ReLU activation function, the mean squared error loss function, and the Adam optimization algorithm. The dataset is split into training and test sets by importing the train_test_split function from the sklearn.model_selection module. The model is trained using the yield_model.fit method. The trained model is saved using yield_model.save('yield_model.keras') .
[0077] It's important to note that training deep learning models typically requires significant computing resources and time. Especially for large models or datasets, the training process can take days or even weeks. Saving a trained model avoids having to repeat the training process when the same model is needed in the future, saving computing resources and time.
[0078] Based on the above scheme, the negative impact of non-numerical data and dimensional differences on model training is resolved by performing one-hot encoding and normalization on the process parameters. Discrete variables such as process codes are converted into binary vectors through one-hot encoding, enabling the model to recognize the independence and differences between different processes. For example, the process differences between the annealing furnace and the skin-finishing machine are encoded as features of different dimensions, avoiding the false order relationship that may be introduced by traditional numerical encoding. Normalization unifies the numerical range of each process parameter to the same scale (such as \[0,1\]), eliminating the feature weight deviation caused by different dimensions. For example, the cold rolling reduction rate (percentage) and the annealing temperature (degrees Celsius) have a large numerical difference in the original scale. After normalization, the model can treat each feature equally. These two preprocessing technologies optimize the model input structure from the data expression level, enhance the compatibility of neural networks with multi-source heterogeneous data, improve the model convergence speed and generalization performance, and lay the foundation for the collaborative optimization of complex process parameters.
[0079] S102, establishing a neural network model based on the target process parameters, wherein the neural network model is related to the room temperature tensile properties of the target steel;
[0080] For example, considering that ensuring data quality is the basis for establishing an effective prediction model, this application uses data cleaning and exploratory data analysis. Based on the big data foundation, a suitable neural network model is selected to predict the room temperature tensile properties of hot-dip galvanized IF steel.
[0081] Specifically,
[0082] It is important to note that the selection of a model must take into account factors such as data characteristics and prediction accuracy requirements. The model training process also includes key steps such as parameter tuning and overfitting control.
[0083] S103. Determine the optimal process design of the target steel material through the neural network model based on the target value of product performance requirements.
[0084] For example, the above-mentioned operation of establishing a performance prediction model involves finding correlation patterns between data through data cleaning and exploratory data analysis. Based on big data, a neural network model for predicting the room temperature tensile properties of hot-dip galvanized IF steel is established.
[0085] Based on this application, the system model can be used to simulate and predict the process design results, provide early warning of the risk of unqualified performance, improve the efficiency of data analysis, reduce the error rate in the process design process, thereby reducing the production cost of IF steel and improving the economic benefits of the enterprise.
[0086] In one embodiment, a target database is established based on the neural network model, wherein the target database is used to provide feedback on the relationship between the target process parameters and the room temperature tensile properties;
[0087] The target value of the product performance requirement is used as a screening condition to determine the optimal process design of the target steel through the target database.
[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the idea of process design recommendation is equivalent to the reverse of the performance prediction model. Given the target value and upper and lower limits of the performance requirements, the target value and upper and lower limits of the process parameters of the entire process are obtained.
[0089] This application takes into account that if the performance requirement target value is used as the input variable X and the process parameter target value of the entire process is used as the output variable Y, the dimension of X will be much smaller than the dimension of Y. This means that for the same X value (i.e., the performance requirement target value), there may be multiple Y values (i.e., the process parameter target value of the entire process) that meet the conditions, making it difficult to ensure that the final process parameter target value is both accurate and reliable.
[0090] like Figure 6 As shown, this application establishes a process design-material performance database through a predictive model, and then uses the product performance requirements as a screening condition to obtain a process design that meets the requirements. This avoids the problem of the X dimension being smaller than the Y dimension.
[0091] By leveraging the aforementioned technical solution, the present application establishes a database of process design and material performance results, and utilizes the aforementioned neural network model to determine the performance results corresponding to the existing quality designs in the manufacturing system, thereby forming a comprehensive database of quality design and material performance results.
[0092] The above solution constructs a target database based on a neural network model and establishes a dynamic mapping relationship library between process parameters and material properties. The database associates and stores historical process data with predicted performance results, forming a queryable process-performance knowledge graph. When product performance requirements are input, the system reversely searches the database for process solutions that meet the requirements, replacing traditional trial-and-error experiments. For example, when the user specifies A80 ≥ 30%, the database automatically filters out all process parameter combinations that predict A80 to meet the standard and recommends them based on process stability. This mechanism essentially achieves process reverse design through data-driven pattern matching, solving the problem of low search efficiency caused by the explosion of process parameter combinations in traditional methods. Continuous updates to the database can also accumulate production performance data, forming a self-reinforcing learning loop, so that the recommendation system is continuously optimized as the amount of data grows, gradually approaching the global optimal solution.
[0093] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0094] The performance prediction result of the process design of the target steel is determined based on the following formula taking into account the production process control error and the prediction model error:
[0095] Maximum performance prediction result of process design: μ+3σ+MSE
[0096] Average value of performance prediction results of process design: μ
[0097] Minimum performance prediction result of process design: μ-3σ-MSE
[0098] Wherein, σ is the standard deviation of the steel grade code performance data, μ is the performance prediction result, and MSE is the mean square error of the model.
[0099] Based on this approach, an error compensation algorithm is introduced to expand the performance prediction range, significantly improving the industrial applicability of the recommended results. The maximum and minimum performance predictions for the process design are corrected by superimposing the model's mean square error (MSE) and production fluctuations (3σ), expanding the theoretical predictions to a practically possible range. For example, when the model predicts a yield strength of 300 MPa, considering MSE = 5 and σ = 2, the actual value is likely to be distributed within the range of 300 ± (3 × 2 + √5) ≈ 300 ± 7.2 MPa. This algorithm probabilistically quantifies the impact of production uncertainty, ensuring that the parameter tolerance band of the recommended process covers the actual fluctuation range. During secondary screening, the system only retains process solutions whose expanded range fully falls within the target performance requirements, avoiding the risk of performance overshoot due to model errors or equipment fluctuations. This mechanism integrates statistical principles into process design and enhances the adaptability of the recommendation system to complex production environments.
[0100] In one embodiment, the method of using the product performance requirement target value as a screening condition to determine the optimal process design of the target steel material through a target database includes:
[0101] Determine a process design corresponding to the maximum value and the minimum value of the performance prediction result within the target value of the product performance requirement of the target steel;
[0102] Determine the PPK index corresponding to the process design;
[0103] The process design with the best PPK index is selected as the optimal process design for the target steel.
[0104] Illustratively, this application recommends the optimal process design based on the performance requirements of the new product, and the performance results are within the performance requirements of the new product; and the indicator characterizing the performance control capability - PPK is arranged in descending order from highest to lowest, and the top five are taken as the final recommendation results, thereby determining the optimal process design for the target steel.
[0105] Specifically:
[0106]
[0107] σ is the standard deviation of the performance data of the steel grade code, μ is the performance prediction result, USL is the upper limit of the performance requirement, and LSL is the lower limit of the performance requirement.
[0108] This application will use the process design whose performance prediction results (maximum value, minimum value) are within the product performance requirement target value range of the new product, and arrange the screening results in descending order from highest to lowest according to the indicator characterizing the control capability - PPK, as the optimal process design for the target steel.
[0109] Based on the above scheme, this application uses the process capability index (PPK) as the basis for sorting process schemes, and gives priority to recommending process parameters with the best stability and controllability. PPK quantifies the probability that the process meets performance requirements by calculating the relative position of the mean (μ) of the process output and the upper and lower specification limits (USL / LSL). For example, PPK = 1.33 means that the process fluctuation is within 75% of the specification range, while PPK = 2.0 corresponds to a pass rate of 99.7%. The present invention selects the top five processes by PPK sorting, which is essentially to select the solution with the largest tolerance margin and the strongest anti-interference ability from the perspective of statistical process control (SPC). This strategy reduces the risk of performance deviation caused by equipment fluctuations or differences in raw material batches during the production process, ensures the robustness of the recommended process in actual production, and provides a quantitative evaluation benchmark for the continuous optimization of process parameters.
[0110] In one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0111] Construct a vehicle parts database based on the dimensions of vehicle parts;
[0112] Determine the target value of product performance requirements based on the vehicle component database.
[0113] Exemplarily, this application constructs a forward-looking guidance system for product process design driven by a vehicle model parts knowledge base. Specifically, this application implants the dimensions of vehicle model parts into the product process design ideas. To achieve system-guided products, with vehicle model parts as the entry point, the three knowledge bases of product characteristics, three major issues and one major issue, objections and complaints, and historical supply performance of vehicle model parts are connected in series as advance guidance for product process design. Incorporating the dimensions of vehicle model parts into the product process design process provides forward-looking guidance for product process design, realizing the integration of vehicle model part dimensions with product process design.
[0114] Specifically, this application first establishes a database: organizing the names, images, and user needs of typical automotive parts. The images are stored in a local computer folder in PNG format, and text and other information are stored in an Excel spreadsheet. An information query window is created. Using the Python graphical user interface (GUI) module PySimpleGUI, the database is organized into tabs to display the product features, major issues, objections, and complaints, as well as historical supply performance of the vehicle model parts, using the part name as a clue.
[0115] It should be noted that the above three major issues are used to represent the key problems that occur in key products at key users, thus forming a major comparative advantage.
[0116] Furthermore, this application combines the protocol or standard with the vehicle component knowledge base to ultimately determine the performance range of the product. Entering this range into the "Process Design Recommendation" interface, the system automatically recommends process design results that meet this performance range.
[0117] Finally, this application selects process design results that meet the product performance requirements. At the same time, a performance verification mechanism for the recommended results is established, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the recommended results by comparing historical performance results with product performance requirements. This application takes into account the errors in the prediction model and fluctuations in the production control process. The recommended process design will be formally adopted after verifying that historical performance results are consistent with product performance requirements.
[0118] Based on the above solution, by building a vehicle parts database and binding it to product performance requirements, demand-oriented optimization of process design is achieved. The database integrates the application scenarios of parts (such as the need for high formability of door panels), user complaints (such as surface defects) and historical supply performance data to form multi-dimensional constraints. For example, for a certain model's roof outer panel, the system automatically associates its "high surface quality" and "anti-sag" requirements, and prioritizes the solution with the best surface finish prediction value in the annealing process parameter combination. This design reversely injects downstream application requirements into the process design process, breaking through the limitations of traditional process optimization that only focuses on material performance indicators, so that process parameters can meet both performance requirements and the special needs of actual application scenarios, thereby improving the systematicness and market responsiveness of product development.
[0119] The steel process design method provided by the present invention addresses the problem of excessive reliance on manual trial and error in steel production process design. The method determines target process parameters for a target steel during production; establishes a neural network model based on these target process parameters, wherein the neural network model is correlated with the room-temperature tensile properties of the target steel; and uses the neural network model to determine the optimal process design for the target steel based on the target product performance requirements. In this approach, by determining the process parameters for the target steel and establishing a neural network model to predict its room-temperature tensile properties, intelligent and data-driven process design is achieved. Traditional methods rely on manual trial and error, making it difficult to quantify the complex relationship between process parameters and performance. However, the neural network model can automatically learn nonlinear mapping patterns from massive amounts of historical data, capturing the synergistic effects of multiple factors, such as steelmaking composition, hot rolling temperature, and cold rolling reduction, on material properties. The model directly predicts key indicators, such as tensile strength and yield strength, by inputting process parameters, forming a closed-loop "process-performance" mapping. When reversely screening process parameters based on product performance requirements, the system matches candidate process solutions from a database that meet the target performance range, avoiding the problem of solution space redundancy caused by insufficient input dimensions in forward modeling. This method shifts process design from experience-driven to data-driven, significantly improving the scientific nature and systematic nature of parameter optimization and reducing the blindness of manual intervention. At the same time, it adapts to the needs of different production scenarios through model generalization capabilities, providing a scalable technical framework for complex process design.
[0120] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application:
