Abstract: An LightGBM prediction model based on big data is presented in order to online detect the mechanical properties of hot-rolled strip in this paper, which can achieve the greater accuracy than both the existing prediction approaches and hardware detection method for the local strips. A dataset of mechanical properties of hot-rolled strip is constructed firstly by collecting a steel plant's hot-rolled process control parameters, which includes 17,000 samples, and every sample contains 17 input characteristics and three output mechanical property parameters. Based on the dataset, an LightGBM intelligent prediction model is established and trained to predict the three mechanical properties of the hot-rolled strip steels. 17,000 data of hot rolling mill are used to verify the effectiveness of the model. Results show that the prediction accuracy for tensile strength, compressive strength and elongation are 0.99971, 0.99835, and 0.99631, respectively. Especially, the prediction accuracy for elongation is higher than the existing methods.
