A New Predictive Model of Centerline Segregation in Continuous Cast Steel Slabs by Using Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines Approach

Abstract

The aim of this study was to obtain a predictive model able to perform an early detection of central segregation severity in continuous cast steel slabs. Segregation in steel cast products is an internal defect that can be very harmful when slabs are rolled in heavy plate mills. In this research work, the central segregation was studied with success using the data mining methodology based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) technique. For this purpose, the most important physical-chemical parameters are considered. The results of the present study are two-fold. In the first place, the significance of each physical-chemical variable on the segregation is presented through the model. Second, a model for forecasting segregation is obtained. Regression with optimal hyperparameters was performed and coefficients of determination equal to 0.93 for continuity factor estimation and 0.95 for average width were obtained when the MARS technique was applied to the experimental dataset, respectively. The agreement between experimental data and the model confirmed the good performance of the latter.

The Relative Importance of Globalization and Public Expenditure on Life Expectancy in Europe: An Approach Based on MARS Methodology

“…where MSRE denotes the mean squared residual error and M(λ) is the complexity level of the MARS model given by the number of BFs included in the model (adding its corresponding intercept term) as well as the parameter d, known as the "penalty of the model". Since this parameter can also be considered as a smoothing parameter [122] and in this research the value d = 2 was employed to configure a pairwise interactive analysis model [95,99,104,107], the complexity is equal to:…”

Optimization of the Continuous Galvanizing Heat Treatment Process in Ultra-High Strength Dual Phase Steels Using a Multivariate Model

“…Singla et al [26] used the factorial design for investigating the effect of cerium oxide addition on the dry sliding adhesive wear behavior of hardfaced Fe-18Cr-1.1Nb-2.1C alloy and a regression equation of the model was developed and validated with experimental tests. García Nieto et al [34] used multivariate regression to predict the segregation in continuous cast steel slabs and the results allowed to determinate the most important variables that impact in the industrial process directly.…”

“…When we consider the multivariate statistics applied to the context of steelmaking processes, studies can be found for the calculation of the mass balance of blast furnaces (Ruuska, Sorsa, Lilja & Leiviskä, 2017), estimation of the energy conservation potential in the Chinese industry (Rao, Rama, Subbaiah, Rao & Rao, 2013), early detection of segregation in continuous casting processes (Nieto et al, 2015), among others. We can also point out the use of different application methods for the analysis of multivariate statistics in steel processes, such as logistic regression in (Xu & Zhao, 2005), and robust regression methods (Mondal, 2016), for example.…”
