A model based on adaptive neural network formalism coupled with fuzzy inference system has been developed to predict mechanical properties of hot-rolled TRIP steel. The developed model incorporates a wide range of data containing chemical compositions, thermo-mechanical processing parameters and mechanical properties of hot-rolled TRIP steel. A compact set of process variables has been selected as the model inputs for predicting tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and retained austenite under a given operating condition. The model predictions show that carbon, silicon and manganese content have a significant effect on the retained austenite which increases with the increased amount of these elements. The microalloying elements such as niobium and molybdenum have a little effect on the volume fraction of retained austenite. The present model provides a predictive platform for possible application of these artificial intelligence-based tools for automation, real-time process control and operator guidance in plant operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
