Research on Optimization Control Method of Laminar Cooling Process Based on Improved Black Widow Algorithm

Precision Temperature Control of Hot Rolled Steel Strips through Laminar Cooling Process Using an Improved Black Widow Algorithm-Based Control Model relying solely on the output rollers of a steel plant to dissipate most of the heat in hot-rolled steel strips is fundamentally insufficient to meet the requirements of the output steel strips. Therefore, laminar cooling is necessary for precise temperature control of hot-rolled steel strips. In this paper, we propose a laminar cooling control model based on an improved Black Widow algorithm to address the complex industrial characteristics of the laminar cooling process and overcome limitations in establishing laminar cooling models. This model enables precise control of water spray quantities based on actual operating conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved Black Widow algorithm exhibits higher stability and superior optimization capabilities, enhancing temperature control performance in practical laminar cooling processes.
