Detection of Transients in Steel Casting through Standard and AI-Based Techniques

摘要

The detection of transients in the practice of continuous casting within a steel-making industry is a key task for the prediction of final product properties but currently a direct observation of this phenomenon is not available. For this reason in this paper several standard and soft-computing based methods for the detection of transients from plant data will be tested and compared. From the obtained results it emerges that the use of a fuzzy inference system based on experts knowledge achieves very satisfactory results correctly identifying most of the transient events present in the databases provided by different companies.
