“…Below are provided the main results of the studies in which artificial intelligence techniques have been applied in the following technologies in foundries: the melting metal process, sand casting process, die casting process, continuous casting process and investment casting process. Bouhouche et al (2004) presented the application of neural networks in the steel industry. Namely, they introduced the control of the melting process by using neural networks, with the goal to optimally control the input variables such as the weights of additives (FeMn, FeSi, and coke) and heating temperature (T) [1].…”
