| Abstract Scope |
In Vacuum Arc Remelting processes, the power setpoint changes as a melt progresses. During the initial stages of the melt, the power is gradually ramped up to a steady state level, and during the latter stages, the arc power is ramped down to complete the hot-topping process. These ramps can either be based on feedback from load cells, ram position, markers on the electrode, or a combination of these signals. In this work, feedback from a vision system is used to cutback the power using an open source convoluted neural network algorithm. The code is pre-trained using a combination of multiple image sources and is deployed during the melt to alert the control system. |
