Machine learning-based precise monitoring of aluminium-magnesium alloy dust

Abstract

Al-Mg alloys are widely used in industrial production, which can lead to occupational health issues and explosion hazards. The study focuses on applying a machine learning-enhanced Kalman filtering algorithm to detect the concentration of Al-Mg alloy dust, significantly reducing dust hazards and constructing an efficient and safe dust reduction and removal system. A machine learning-based Kalman filter algorithm is proposed for fast and accurate detection of high Al-Mg dust concentrations (200–1200 g/m³). The results show that the KFGRU approach outperforms the traditional line filter method, achieving answer times between 2.6 s and 6 s—an improvement of 62.5% over the traditional method. As far as the forecast accuracy is concerned, the KFGRU method yields a minimal curve deviation value, reaching as low as 0.097, which represents a significant improvement compared to the 0.151 of the Kalman filter algorithm, the 0.217 of the sliding average method, and the 0.177 of the median filter methods.
