摘要

Low-alloy steel, widely utilized in marine construction and engineering due to its exceptional mechanical properties, requires performance optimization to meet the demands of complex service environments. To address the critical challenges of high-dimensional feature spaces and limited sample sizes, we propose a novel two-step feature selection algorithm integrating Differential Evolution and Feature Importance Scores. Comparative analysis demonstrates the algorithm’s superior performance in reducing feature numbers while enhancing model accuracy. The developed predictive models for tensile strength and elongation achieve \(R^{2}\) R 2 values of 0.97 and 0.90, respectively, using optimized descriptors. SHAP analysis reveals critical influencing features, including average covalent radius, sum of fusion enthalpy, variance of bulk modulus, tempering temperature, and tempering time. Symbolic regression further elucidates quantitative relationships between these features and target properties. The proposed framework offers an interpretable and efficient approach for optimizing low-alloy steel performance, providing valuable insights for material design and processing parameter selection through its advanced feature selection and modeling methodologies.
