Abstract
Traditionally, mechanical property estimation is carried out by destructive testing, which is costly and time consuming. Sometimes, the time schedule in the mill is so tight that coils are dispatched, while the samples are still under investigation; thus, knowledge of the strip quality immediately after rolling without mechanical testing can save a lot of time and money. As the rolling process is complex and final mechanical properties of steel depend on many parameters, it is almost impossible to develop an accurate first principle based mathematical model, so an artificial neural network based model to predict the mechanical properties of hot rolled steel strip has been developed. This paper describes the neural network based online system that helps in predicting mechanical properties of interstitial free (IF) steel strip and also elaborates how this models can help in capturing various metallurgical phenomena during rolling.Keywords
