Abstract Scope |
In Direct-Chill casting, the process is driven by a set of instructions (a recipe). The machine then measures the variables and adjusts them to match the recipe, but it can only adjust the process variables that it can measure and compare to the given setpoints. This is where our solution can bring novelty to the industry. We propose to use a Deep Learning model to predict the process variables that are not measured by the machine, and to extract more information than the sum of the measured variables. The goal is to tie the experience of failed and successful, or even exceptional, castings to the process variables used to produce them. By learning what makes a successful and great quality ingot, the model can then be used to avoid the pitfalls of the process and to help adjust the process variables to produce the best quality ingot possible. |
