Abstract: Effective mining of mass production data helps to improve the productivity and the level of management to realize “smart steel works”. The production data for the last 4 years of one steel works were collected, and the box plot was used to clean the data to improve their quality. Twenty-three characteristic parameters affecting hot metal quality and yield were selected by technological theory and expertise combined with the random forest algorithm. Hot metal yield and Si+Ti content were taken as the objective parameters, which could be divided into three categories by k-means cluster analysis. Thirteen parameters contributing to the wide range fluctuation of hot metal yield and quality were obtained after the comprehensive analysis of classification results and characteristic parameters, and the reasonable variable ranges of corresponding parameters were provided. The research can guide the stable operation of blast furnaces and the application of data mining in the iron and steel industry.

Key words: smart steel works, data mining, feature engineering, k-means clustering, random forest, blast furnace
