Advancements in Casting Defect Classification: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Deep Learning Models

The results of research assessing the effectiveness of a defect classification model applied to several casting defect classes are briefly summarized in the abstract. For every defect class-Misruns, Cold Shuts, Hot Tears, Flash, Weld Lines, Sand Inclusions, Metal Penetration, Gas Porosity, Shrinkage Cavities, and Slag Inclusions-precision, recall, and F1-score metrics are presented. These measurements, which fall between about 95% and 98%, show how well the model recognizes and categorizes various casting flaws. The number of instances within the dataset is also reflected in the support scores for each class, which sheds light on the frequency of various fault kinds. The model's estimated 99% total accuracy in classifying casting flaws attests to its excellent performance. The model's accuracy is 90.06% on 12,302 photos, demonstrating its strong image categorization capabilities. To further describe the model's overall performance across all fault classes, macro, weighted, or micro average metrics are offered. About 97% of the macro average accuracy, recall, and F1-score values suggest consistent performance across various defect types. In the same vein, the weighted average measures show excellent performance even after adjusting for class imbalance. Ultimately, the model's overall accuracy, recall, and F1-score are reflected in the micro average metrics, which supports its strong performance in defect categorization. All things considered, the abstract emphasizes how well the defect classification model can discover and categorize casting flaws, therefore highlighting its possible use in industrial quality control procedures.
