Ferroalloy Quality Intelligence
Predict composition and energy from furnace behaviour.
Process overview
Ferroalloy production uses submerged-arc furnaces to convert ores and reductants into alloys of consistent composition. Furnace behaviour drives both product chemistry and energy use.
Why prediction matters
Product consistency and energy per tonne both hinge on furnace state, which is noisy and slow to confirm. Prediction links furnace behaviour to composition and energy outcomes.

Which of these variables tends to carry the most predictive signal in practice? Curious where to focus feature work first.
