Abstract Scope |
Non-metallic inclusions are small oxide, sulfide, or nitride particles that have numerous effects on the processing and properties of steels. Inclusions arise during liquid steel processing and their control is an important objective of steel refining. Improved control strategies have been enabled by improved characterization methods. Automated characterization methods provide multidimensional data on shape, size, and chemical composition for thousands of inclusions on time scales of hours. Measurement and analysis times are, however, still too long for direct process feedback. This talk will review efforts using machine learning and computer vision methods to automate data analysis and increase the speed of data acquisition. We utilize clustering algorithms to identify large agglomerations of inclusions that are particularly detrimental to processing and properties. We have also investigated regression and computer vision methods to extract composition information from images of inclusions to reduce the need for direct composition measurement. |
