Deep Learning Sequence Methods in Multiphysics Modeling of Steel Solidification

Abstract

The solidifying steel follows highly nonlinear thermo-mechanical behavior depending on the loading history, temperature, and metallurgical phase fraction calculations (liquid, ferrite, and austenite). Numerical modeling with a computationally challenging multiphysics approach is used on high-performance computing to generate sufficient training and testing data for subsequent deep learning. We have demonstrated how the innovative sequence deep learning methods can learn from multiphysics modeling data of a solidifying slice traveling in a continuous caster and correctly and instantly capture the complex history and temperature-dependent phenomenon in test data samples never seen by the deep learning networks.
