• Title: Steel Surface Roughness Parameter Calculations Using Lasers and Machine Learning Models
• Authors: Alex Milne, Xianghua Xie
• Abstract summary: Control of surface texture in strip steel is essential to meet customer requirements during galvanizing and temper rolling processes. Traditional methods rely on post-production stylus measurements, while on-line techniques offer non-contact and real-time measurements of the entire strip. We leverage state-of-the-art machine learning models to enhance the transformation of on-line measurements into significantly a more accurate Ra surface roughness metric.

• Abstract: Control of surface texture in strip steel is essential to meet customer requirements during galvanizing and temper rolling processes. Traditional methods rely on post-production stylus measurements, while on-line techniques offer non-contact and real-time measurements of the entire strip. However, ensuring accurate measurement is imperative for their effective utilization in the manufacturing pipeline. Moreover, accurate on-line measurements enable real-time adjustments of manufacturing processing parameters during production, ensuring consistent quality and the possibility of closed-loop control of the temper mill. In this study, we leverage state-of-the-art machine learning models to enhance the transformation of on-line measurements into significantly a more accurate Ra surface roughness metric. By comparing a selection of data-driven approaches, including both deep learning and non-deep learning methods, to the close-form transformation, we evaluate their potential for improving surface texture control in temper strip steel manufacturing.

• Sequential Monte Carlo applied to virtual flow meter calibration [0.0]
  In oil and gas production, virtual flow metering (VFM) is a popular soft-sensor that attempts to estimate multiphase flow rates in real time. The calibration is highly dependent on the application, both due to the great diversity of the models, and in the available measurements. This paper presents a calibration method based on the measurement provided by the production separator, and the assumption that the observed flow should be equal to the sum of flow rates from each individual well.
