Optimization of Hot Rolling Process and Conductivity Prediction for Cu-Fe-P Alloy Based on GA-BP and PSO-BP Neural Networks
摘要
In this paper, Back Propagation (BP) neural network, BP neural network improved by Genetic Algorithm (GA-BP), and BP neural network enhanced by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-BP) were employed to predict the conductivity of Cu-Fe-P alloy, aiming to optimize the hot rolling process parameters. The data set was filtered using Mutual Information method and Pearson Correlation Coefficient method to identify input features (rolling force, rolling temperature, rolling speed, roll gap) highly correlated with conductivity. The results indicate that BP, GA-BP, and PSO-BP neural network models can effectively predict the conductivity of copper alloy under different rolling process parameters. Among them, the GA-BP neural network exhibits the highest prediction accuracy (MSE = 0.040, R2 = 0.93), leading to the optimization of hot rolling process parameters. Employing Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) technique to analyze the microstructure of samples before and after optimizing the hot rolling process, the results indicate that the microstructure of the samples after optimization contains more low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) and larger average grain size.
