Abstract
In this work, we have proposed an AI-based model that can simultaneously predict the hardness and phase fraction percentages of micro-alloyed steel with a predefined chemical composition and thermomechanical processing conditions. Specifically, the model uses a feed-forward neural network enhanced by the ensemble method. The model has been trained on experimental data derived from continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams of 39 different steels. The inputs to the model include a cooling profile defined by a set of time-temperature values and the chemical composition of the steel. Sensitivity analysis was performed on the validated model to understand the impact of key input variables, including individual alloys and the thermomechanical processing conditions. This analysis, which measures the variability in output in response to changes in a specific input variable, showed excellent agreement with experimental data and the trends in the literature. Thus, our model not only predicts steel properties under varied cooling conditions but also aligns with existing theoretical knowledge and experimental data.
