Abstract The prediction of evaluation a U- and V-shaped cracks on the surface and subsurface of a continuously cast steel slab, is investigated during hot rolling. The numerical simulation is carried out by means of FE-code DEFORM 3D. Therefore, an algorithmic decision tree was developed by the C 4.5 program and applied in prediction of surface and subsurface defects behaviour during the numerical simulation of hot rolling. Cracks were selected as a transversal and longitudinal to the rolling direction. In addition to the transversal and vertical U- and V-shaped cracks on the surface; subsurface defect, referred as “circle hole”, on the side part of workpiece were evaluated. In terms of surface defects evolution, U-shaped cracks show a deteriorating influence during hot rolling. On the basis of the algorithmic decision tree established, the prediction of cracks evolution (defined before plastic deformation process) during hot rolling is examined.
