Abstract

Strip shape prediction is one of the most important technical to improve the quality of products in hot strip rolling process. In this paper, three hybrid models, including GA-MLP, MEA-MLP and PCA-MEA-MLP, are proposed for profile and flatness predictions by combining genetic algorithm (GA), mind evolutionary algorithm (MEA), principal component analysis (PCA) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks. Mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error, root mean squared error are adapted to evaluate the performance of the models. The results show that the data-driven model based on intelligent algorithm optimization neural networks can achieve good prediction of profile and flatness. Comparing with the hybrid GA-MLP model, the training speed of the hybrid MEA-MLP model is faster and the training time is greatly reduced. The model establishing with the input data after dimensionality reduction by PCA can reduce training time and become simple. The innovation of this paper is to propose a data-driven fast response model based on intelligent algorithm optimization neural network to replace the traditional mechanism model based on mathematical formula analysis to study complex, non-linear strip shape control in hot rolling process.
