Formal concept analysis applied to the prediction of additives for galvanizing process

Abstract

Formal concept analysis is a new mathematical approach to data analysis, data mining and to discavering patterns in data. The result of the application of the formal concept analysis method to the behavior of the galvanizing of rimmed steel is presented. Effects of additives in the galvanizing pracess have been correlated to the chemical element properties of the additives. This model may also help to design new alloys as aditives in the galvanizing process.
