摘要

Accurate and rapid control of slag viscosity is pivotal for ensuring stable production and maximizing efficiency in contemporary blast furnace ironmaking, especially given the increasing reliance on low-grade iron ores. Purely data-driven models suffer from the critical limitation of “black-box” characteristics and a deficit in physical consistency. To surmount these challenges, this study proposes a novel method for high-fidelity, dynamic blast furnace slag viscosity prediction based on the deep integration of a self-adaptive physics-informed neural network (SAPINN) and the classic Urbain phenomenological model. Taking operational parameters as inputs, the Urbain model, calculated from chemical composition, is introduced into the loss function as a mechanism-derived physical constraint. A self-adaptive dynamic optimization framework meticulously adjusts the constraint weight via an annealing growth strategy, robustly integrating data-driven and physical mechanism approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that SAPINN significantly outperforms established baseline methods, including RNN and LSTM, achieving a superior coefficient of determination R2 of 0.96. The model also exhibits outstanding robustness across a wide temperature range of 1763–1803 K. This study conclusively confirms that embedding physical models as prior knowledge substantially increases predictive accuracy and interpretability, providing a new approach for slag viscosity prediction.
