摘要

Accurate magnesium (Mg) control is critical for the industrial recycling of 5xxx-series aluminum alloys. This study demonstrates a SCADA-integrated, machine learning-based predictive control strategy for Mg regulation in 5182 Al–Mg–Mn alloy during full-scale furnace operation. A gradient boosting regressor (GBR) was trained using a time-resolved intra-heat reference campaign (23 compositional measurements) and more than 20,000 SCADA-recorded thermal and combustion variables. Using temporally consistent blocked time-series validation, the model achieved stable predictive performance (R2 ~ 0.96, RMSE ~ 0.11 wt.% Mg) across an operating range of 1.78-4.91 wt.%. Mg. The exploratory warm-start transfer to a second furnace preserved trend fidelity under similar control logic. ML-assisted supervision reduced magnesium dosing variance by 28.7% and post-alloying stabilization time by 12.4%, yielding a 3-4% reduction in net energy consumption and CO2-equivalent savings of approximately 230-260 tons per furnace per year. The results demonstrate the industrial feasibility of data-driven alloying control under real production constraints.
