Steel Informatics Analysing Data of a Complex Materials System
Steel Informatics aims to review the application of data-driven computing techniques related to design of steel including phase transformation, composition-process-property correlation, and different processing techniques, particularly deformation and joining. The book initiates with fundamentals of informatics followed by description of applications of statistical analyses in defining different attributes of steel. The proceeding chapters of the book cover recent applications of statistical, machine learning, expert systems and optimizations algorithms in the domains of iron and steel making, casting, deformation, phase transformation and heat treatment, microstructure analysis, and design of steel.
Features:
