contents This study presents a novel method for microstructure control in closed die hot forging that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with a developed machine learning model called DeepForge. DeepForge uses an architecture that combines 1D convolutional neural networks and gated recurrent units. It uses surface temperature measurements of a workpiece as input to predict microstructure changes during forging. The paper also details DeepForge's architecture and the finite element simulation model used to generate the data set, using a three-stroke forging process. The results demonstrate DeepForge's ability to predict microstructure with a mean absolute error of 0.4$\pm$0.3%. In addition, the study explores the use of MPC to adjust inter-stroke wait times, effectively counteracting temperature disturbances to achieve a target grain size of less than 35 microns within a specific 2D region of the workpiece. These results are then verified experimentally, demonstrating a significant step towards improved control and quality in forging processes where temperature can be used as an additional degree of freedom in the process.
