| Sumario: | Abstract Predicting mechanical properties such as yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is an intricate undertaking in practice, notwithstanding a plethora of well-established theoretical and empirical models. A data-driven approach should be a fundamental exercise when making YS/UTS predictions. For this study, we collected 16 descriptors (attributes) that implicate the compositional and processing information and the corresponding YS/UTS values for 5473 thermo-mechanically controlled processed (TMCP) steel alloys. We set up an integrated machine-learning (ML) platform consisting of 16 ML algorithms to predict the YS/UTS based on the descriptors. The integrated ML platform involved regularization-based linear regression algorithms, ensemble ML algorithms, and some non-linear ML algorithms. Despite the dirty nature of most real-world industry data, we obtained acceptable holdout dataset test results such as R2 > 0.6 and MSE < 0.01 for seven non-linear ML algorithms. The seven fully trained non-linear ML models were used for the ensuing ‘inverse design (prediction)’ based on an elitist-reinforced, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The NSGA-II enabled us to predict solutions that exhibit desirable YS/UTS values for each ML algorithm. In addition, the NSGA-II-driven solutions in the 16-dimensional input feature space were visualized using holographic research strategy (HRS) in order to systematically compare and analyze the inverse-predicted solutions for each ML algorithm. |
