Modeling and Optimization for Piercing Efficiency and Energy Consumption Based on Mean Value Substaged KELM-PLS and GA Method

Abstract EN

Piercing manufacture of seamless tubes is the process that pierces solid blank into tube hollow.

Piercing efficiency and energy consumption are the important indexes in the production of seamless tubes.

Piercing process has the multivariate, nonlinear, cross-coupling characteristics.

The complex factors that affect efficiency and consumption make it difficult to establish the mechanism models for optimization.

Based on the production process, this paper divides the piercing process into three parts and proposes the piercing efficiency and energy consumption prediction models based on mean value staged KELM-PLS method.

On the basis of mean value staged KELM-PLS prediction model, the minimum piercing energy consumption and maximum piercing efficiency are calculated by genetic optimization algorithm.

Simulation and experiment prove that the optimization method based on the piercing efficiency and energy consumption prediction model can obtain the optimal process parameters effectively and also provide reliable evidences for practical production.
