Abstract

This paper presents a proposal to apply one of the swarm intelligence algorithms, the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, to solve the inverse problem of steel ingot continuous casting. The discussed task consists of retrieving the cooling conditions of the process on the basis of temperature measurements and by taking into account the macrosegregation phenomenon. The examined process was modeled by using the mathematical model of solidification within the temperature interval. The solution method was based on the implicit scheme of the finite difference method supplemented by the procedure of correcting the field of temperature in the vicinity of liquidus and solidus curves, which was then used for solving the appropriate direct problem. The computational example, illustrating the stability and accuracy of the proposed method, is also presented in the paper.
