基于混合神经符号动态调节的LF精炼炉钢液质量控制

摘要: LF精炼过程中钢液成分和温度受多源过程变量、复杂时序关系及炉次间工况波动的共同影响,传统机理模型或单一数据驱动模型难以兼顾动态预测、知识解释与现场操作指导。针对上述问题,本文提出一种融合符号推理算法与注意力增强长短期记忆网络的混合神经符号动态调节方法。首先,根据LF精炼过程参数的更新频率及冶金作用,将过程变量划分为长时与短时参数,并建立多源数据采集、数据清洗、过程约束及时序耦合方法;随后,以案例推理为核心的符号推理算法通过全局相似性计算匹配最优历史炉次,实现工艺经验复用,并将模型推理限定在具有冶金意义的合理工况范围内;在此基础上,注意力增强长短期记忆网络学习过程参数的时序变化规律,捕捉关键操作引起的动态过程特征,实现终点成分和温度动态预测。符号推理与神经感知信息通过融合机制实现协同建模,在保持历史经验可解释性的同时增强对LF动态过程的表征能力。模型对比与残差分析表明,该方法具有较好预测精度和误差控制能力。基于现场连续工业炉次的应用结果表明,该方法能够实现终点钢液成分和温度的稳定预测,并在满足终点质量要求的条件下,为物料加入、加热操作和精炼时间优化提供决策支持,为LF精炼过程动态质量预测与操作优化提供了一种融合冶金经验知识与过程数据的实现方法。

 

Molten steel quality control in LF refining furnace based on hybrid neuro-symbolic dynamic adjustment

Abstract: Current prediction models for ladle furnace (LF) refining based on big data algorithms have achieved notable improvements in prediction accuracy. However, most existing models lack real-time operational decision support and effective integration with industrial control systems, preventing their deployment for closed-loop optimization in practical steelmaking environments. To address these limitations, this study proposes a dynamic quality control approach based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) and attention-augmented long short-term memory (Ata-LSTM) hybrid model. In this framework, CBR is employed to retrieve and optimize historical cases for process guidance, while LSTM is utilized to capture temporal dependencies and enhance predictive performance. Furthermore, an attention mechanism is introduced to adaptively emphasize metallurgically critical time steps. The combination effectively improves both the accuracy and interpretability of endpoint predictions for molten steel composition and temperature. Industrial application results demonstrate that the model achieves effective process optimization in terms of refining operation time and slag consumption. The proposed model achieves an accuracy rate of 90.48% for endpoint C content within a ±0.01wt% error range, 88.89% for Si within ±0.01wt%, 88.10% for Mn within ±0.01wt%, and 94.44% for S within ±0.005wt%. Additionally, the control accuracy for endpoint temperature remains within ±7°C and ±5°C, with accuracy rates of 96.03% and 88.89%, respectively. These results verify that the proposed hybrid neuro-symbolic model provides strong support for the intelligent, low-carbon, and sustainable development of LF refining processes.
