Neural System for Detecting Craks in the Wire of the Continuous Casting

In the process of continuous casting, the melted steel from the melting pot is passed, through the intermediary of the distributor, in the water-cooled crystallizer tank. In this way, a crust forms here which is solidified at the exterior, and one of the great problems is its cracking or even its tearing, due to several factors. This phenomenon determines the stopping of the technologic process and significant economic losses. Thus, the conception of a system capable of determining the cracking in the incipient stage imposed itself. The conclusion was reached that a neural system is the optimal solution for predicting the tearing in the wire, in the process of continuous casting.
