The paper highlights the use of linear and non-linear quadratic Design of Experiments (DoE) for predicting the most influential factors affecting distortion during cooling of steel long products. The outcome of this investigation indicated the need to use advanced non-linear techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks in order to build a global model for predicting distortion, using data generated from Finite Element predictions. The development of this type of hybrid model shows considerable saving in CPU time since a fully trained ANN once learning is complete can make prediction in a fraction of the time required to get a single FE prediction of distortion. This has the potential to produce significant cost benefits and render the application feasible for implementation in advisory control systems.
