“…In the field of ladle, due to the rapid development of traditional manufacturing, the role of ladle is no longer just a container for transporting and casting molten steel ( Li and Liu, 2015b ; Li and Jiang, 2019 ), it also plays a role in thermal insulation of molten steel and guarantees for subsequent operations ( Boikov et al, 2019 ; Bilen, 2020 ). Due to the many steps of steelmaking and the overload ( Mazumdar and Guthrie, 2020 ; Kadam and brooks, 2021 ), the molten steel needs to stay in the ladle for a longer time, and the operation of the ladle is increased during the turning process when the molten steel is attacked ( Liu and Jiang, 2022f ; Li and Kong, 2006 ; Li et al, 2017).…”

Genetic algorithm is widely used in multi-objective mechanical structure optimization. In this paper, a genetic algorithm-based optimization method for ladle refractory lining structure is proposed. First, the parametric finite element model of the new ladle refractory lining is established by using ANSYS Workbench software. The refractory lining is mainly composed of insulating layer, permanent layer and working layer. Secondly, a mathematical model for multi-objective optimization is established to reveal the functional relationship between the maximum equivalent force on the ladle lining, the maximum temperature on the ladle shell, the total mass of the ladle and the structural parameters of the ladle refractory lining. Genetic algorithm translates the optimization process of ladle refractory lining into natural evolution and selection. The optimization results show that, compared with the unoptimized ladle refractory lining structure (insulation layer thickness of 0 mm, permanent layer thickness of 81 mm, and working layer thickness of 152 mm), the refractory lining with insulation layer thickness of 8.02 mm, permanent layer thickness of 76.20 mm, and working layer thickness of 148.61 mm has the best thermal insulation performance and longer service life within the variation of ladle refractory lining structure parameters. Finally, the results of the optimization are verified and analyzed in this paper. The study found that by optimizing the design of the ladle refractory lining, the maximum equivalent force on the ladle lining, the maximum temperature on the ladle shell and the ladle mass were reduced. The thermal insulation performance and the lightweight performance of the ladle are improved, which is very important for improving the service life of the ladle.
