Abstract
A non-parametric model was proposed for modelling the influence of different technological and chemical parameters on the mechanical properties of the 6082 aluminium alloys during the hot extrusion process with a special consideration of human factor. It was shown that human factor (influence of process engineers) was important and that it could be efficiently modeled and taken into account by the proposed Conditional Average Estimator (CAE) method. Production might be improved (optimized) by a proper education and/or by eliminating critical process engineers. It was found that the highest values for elongation and yield stress did not coincide with the range of the most frequent combinations of input parameters.
