Abstract:
Provided is a steel strip that can provide accurate material information and a method of producing the same. A steel strip (9) comprises a medium that provides material information including a material distribution associating each position in a two-dimensional direction of a rolling direction and a transverse direction with a material characteristic value. The material information is predicted using a prediction model to which input data including a line output factor in a production line for the steel strip, a disturbance factor, and a component value of the steel strip being produced is input. The prediction model includes: a machine learning model that receives the input data as input and outputs a production condition factor and that is generated by machine learning; and a metallurgical model that receives the production condition factor as input and outputs the material characteristic value.
