摘要

The current transition from blast furnaces to electric arc furnaces (EAF) in the steel industry requires that contaminants, such as copper, be removed from the input stream already during the processing phase. In the case of copper, this is particularly important because copper does not accumulate in the slag phase or gas phase during steel production in an EAF but instead remains in the melt. The increased copper content leads to stresses at the grain boundaries after solidification and subsequently to failure due to fracture or cracking during forming processes. This contribution demonstrates how copper-containing particles in a shredder fraction can be detected using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). For this purpose, 20 CNN architectures were compared based on their achievable prediction accuracy and inference latency. The most efficient architecture was selected based on these metrics, and the inference latency was further reduced through optimization. In the final step, the adapted architecture was applied in inline experiments to detect copper particles and control an ejection mechanism.
