What is it about?
The paper explores the optimization of mechanical properties of acicular ferrite steel by applying two heuristic algorithms—Simulated Annealing and Iterated Local Search—to improve yield strength through variations in chemical composition, grain size, and precipitate parameters. Its importance for applied science lies in demonstrating how computational metaheuristics can guide the design of high-strength, low-alloy steels that are cost-effective and widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, and energy, thereby bridging computational modeling with experimental validation.
