Determination of the physical and mechanical properties of steels using models

This document specifies the method for the verification of models for the determination of the property data of steels and the validation of the modelling process. It is applicable where modelling of mechanical or physical properties is used to substitute conventional testing for specific inspection. Models can be based on statistical data, thermo-physical data or indirect measurement (e.g. measurement of magnetic or ultrasonic data), or a combination of these methods.
This document applies only for providing the properties of rolled and/or heat-treated products such as plates, sheets, strip, sections and bars.
This document is used to demonstrate the ability of the model to supply property data which is equivalent to data, measured by conventional testing.
Any self-learning system is excluded from the scope.
NOTE    A self-learning in the spirit of an auto-adaptive model is a model which changes its internal parameters by itself.

Ermittlung physikalischer und mechanischer Eigenschaften von Stählen mittels Anwendung von Modellen

Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren zur Überprüfung von Modellen für die Bestimmung der Eigenschaftsdaten von Stählen und die Validierung des Modellierungsprozesses fest.  Es ist anwendbar, wenn die Modellierung mechanischer oder physikalischer Eigenschaften verwendet wird, um konventionelle Prüfungen für spezifische Inspektionen zu ersetzen. Die Modelle können auf statistischen Daten, thermophysikalischen Daten oder indirekten Messungen (z. B. Messungen magnetischer oder Ultraschalldaten) oder einer Kombination dieser Verfahren basieren.
Dieses Dokument ist nur anzuwenden für die Bereitstellung der Eigenschaften von gewalzten und/oder wärmebehandelten Produkten wie Blechen, Bändern, Profilen, Stäben.
Dieses Dokument wird verwendet, um zu beweisen, dass das Modell dafür geeignet ist, Eigenschaftsdaten zu liefern, welche mit den durch herkömmliche Prüfungen gemessenen Daten, äquivalent sind.
Selbstlernende Systeme sind vom Anwendungsbereich ausgeschlossen.
ANMERKUNG   Ein selbstlernendes Modell ist ein Modell, welches seine internen Parameter selbst ändert.

Détermination des propriétés physiques et mécaniques des aciers à l'aide de modèles

Le présent document spécifie la méthode de vérification des modèles pour déterminer les données de propriétés des aciers et valider le processus de modélisation. Il est applicable lorsque la modélisation des propriétés physiques ou mécaniques sert à remplacer les essais conventionnels pour le contrôle spécifique. Les modèles peuvent être fondés sur des données statistiques, des données thermophysiques ou des mesures indirectes (par exemple, la mesure de données magnétiques ou ultrasonores), ou une combinaison de ces méthodes.
Le présent document s’applique uniquement à la détermination des propriétés des produits laminés et/ou traités thermiquement tels que les tôles, les bandes, les profilés et les barres.
Le présent document permet de démontrer la capacité du modèle à fournir des données de propriétés équivalentes aux données mesurées par des essais conventionnels.
Tout système d’autoapprentissage est exclu du domaine d’application.
NOTE   Un modèle d’autoapprentissage dans l’esprit d’un modèle auto-adaptatif est un modèle qui modifie ses paramètres internes par lui-même.

Introduction
[Cited from proposals of CEN TC 459/SC 3/WG 2]

Since the physical and mechanical properties of steels are ultimately based upon the metallurgical

transformations during the production process, there have been numerous efforts of the manufacturers

in the past, to design models for providing property data for the whole product, in order to improve the

control of the increasingly complex processes during the manufacturing of steel products.

In doing so, the use of models not only helps to reduce the amount of testing in the scope of factory

production control, but it gives a more representative overview of the material properties of steels, since

models can use all available data, determined during the production process, whereas conventional

material testing represents in principle a spot check of the material properties at the time of sampling

and at the place where the samples were taken.

This document specifies the method for the verification of models for the determination of the property

data of steels and the validation of the modelling process. It is applicable where modelling of mechanical

or physical properties is used to substitute conventional testing for specific inspection. Models can be

based on statistical data, thermo-physical data or indirect measurement (e.g. measurement of magnetic

or ultrasonic data), or a combination of these methods.

This document applies only for providing the properties of rolled and/or heat-treated products such as

plates, sheets, strip, sections and bars.

This document is used to demonstrate the ability of the model to supply property data which is equivalent

to data, measured by conventional testing.
Any self-learning system is excluded from the scope.

NOTE A self-learning model is a model which changes its internal parameters by itself.

4.2 Application range
4.2.1 General

Models for determination of property data are intended to be used for quality control in the production

process of steel products with specified physical properties, which are documented in standards or other

specifications and which can be alternatively determined by physical testing.

The application range of the model shall be described and documented in reference to the steel products,

in terms of chemical composition and manufacturing conditions and all additional conditions, that have

an influence on the model accuracy, and for which the model has been verified.
4.2.2 Conditions for the application of models
The following restrictions shall apply to models:

a) Manufacturing processes shall run under control of a quality management system and shall produce

input data, representative for the products and in an sufficient amount to apply appropriate

documented statistical methods in the scope of the control and monitoring of models according to

Clause 6 (e.g. large scale production).

NOTE Quality management systems in accordance with EN ISO 9001, or comparable systems, meet this

requirement.

b) The application range of a model shall be explicitly defined and documented with respect to the

considered products.

c) The model outputs shall only be used for product release if the model is used within the application

range.

d) Determination of physical and/or mechanical properties by a model shall be in accordance to the

requirements of a written specification (e.g. national, or international standards, or other

appropriate technical documentation).

e) Only input data, which can be related explicitly to the test unit according to the inspection type,

according to EN 10204 shall be used.

f) The modelling process shall have been validated by an independent or notified body before any

initial application of any model according to Clause 5 of this document.
4.2.3 Conditions for extension of the application range of models

Extension can only be considered if the model itself, including any internal parameter, does not change.

Any extension of the application range which requires modification of the model or its internal

parameters shall be treated as a new model.

In case of the extension of the application range of a model for the determination of physical and

mechanical properties of steels, it shall be ensured, that:

a) The extension of the application range of a model is explicitly defined and documented in terms given

in 4.2.2.

b) The application of the extended model is in accordance with the conditions of 4.2.2.

c) The validation according to Clause 5 of this document has been repeated for the extended application

range of the model,
