Sumario:A simple hybrid model, integrating observation (black-box) and physical knowledge (white-box), is employed to model an induction heating process. A neural network is used to estimate the unknown physical process parameter in the physical model. Most relevant to induction hardening is the temperature evolution in a layer under the surface of a sample, in our case a cylindrical sample. We show that with a hybrid model, in which a simple ordinary differential equation describes the heating rate, the experimental data can be approximated better than using a black-box only. The hybrid model extrapolates better and it is easier to interpret. The hybrid model can be used as a prediction tool to operate and optimize induction heating processes.
