Modelling of Charpy V test rejection probability

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a product design model for estimating the impact toughness of low alloy steel plates. The rejection probability in a Charpy V test is predicted with process variables and chemical composition. Joint modelling of the mean and deviation was used in order to improve the results. The proposed method is suitable for the whole production line, including all grades of steel in production and it is not restricted to a few test temperatures. Using the proposed model the product design group could have recognised most of the rejections before production. Next, the developed model will be implemented into a graphical simulation tool that is in daily use in the product planning department and already contains some other mechanical property models. The model will guide designers in predicting the related risk of rejection and in producing desired properties in the product at lower cost.

Improving the yield of steel plates by updating the slab design with statistical models

“…7 , 8 These models are suitable especially if the response variable has Gamma distribution. After log-transformation, the model can be fitted using Least Squares, as in Tamminen et al 9…”

An online quality monitoring tool for information acquisition and sharing in manufacturing: requirements and solutions for the steel industry

“…Variance modelling has been used, for example, in quality improvement experiments designed to map the process settings that minimize variance under given conditions. Variance modelling is also naturally suited for tolerance design, because it helps to find the sources of variance in the process (Engel, 1992;Tamminen et al, 2010). The purpose of variance function estimation is to model the structure of the variances as a function of predictors (Carroll and Ruppert, 1988).…”

Steel Property and Process Models for Quality Control and Optimization

“…Industrial processes data is often heteroscedastic, which means that the noise process of the model is input-dependent as well. The advantage of the deviance modelling approach has been presented in [8] and [15].…”
