abstract = "Simulation of various manufacturing processes such as
heat treatments is rapidly gaining importance in the
industry for process optimisation, enhancing efficiency
and improving product quality. Case carburisation
followed by quenching is one such significant heat
treatment process commonly used in the automotive
industry. The equations to be solved for simulation of
these processes are non-linear differential equations
and require the use of computationally intensive
numerical techniques e.g. 3D Finite Element Modelling.
Using these models for solving optimisation or inverse
problems, compounded by the fact that a large number of
evaluations need to be carried out becomes
computationally expensive. This necessitates a simpler,
computationally inexpensive representation of the
process, albeit being applicable to a limited range of
process parameters and conditions. In this paper, we
explore the use of proven statistical techniques such
as Linear Regression and machine learning techniques
such as Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic
Programming to create computationally inexpensive
surrogate models of the carburisation quenching
processes to predict surface hardness and their results
are presented.",
