利用经验规律来寻找形成固溶体合金早已成为材料设计的重要步骤。但是,现有的经验规律预测的准确率很低,尤其是在诸如高熵合金等元素种类较多的情况下。
来自美国能源部两个国家实验室(NETL&ORNL)的研究团队(Zongrui Pei, Junqi Yin, Michael C. Gao, etc),通过机器学习获得的积极结果认识到:用经验规律预测合金固溶体这条路其实是可以很准确的,而之前的经验规律的局限性在于,没有选取到最重要的物理量作为参数。作者利用机器学习提供的物理量,构建了新的经验规律,并用其预测了三组高熵固溶体的形成,分别对应于最具代表性的晶体结构(FCC、BCC、HCP),得到了跟计算相图高度一致的结果。新的经验规律应用于高熵合金固溶体形成的预测,将非常直观而高效。该文近期发表于npj Computational Materials 6: 50 (2020),英文标题与摘要如下,点击左下角“阅读原文”可以自由获取论文PDF。
Machine-learning informed prediction of high-entropy solid solution formation: Beyond the Hume-Rothery rules
Zongrui Pei,JunqiYin,Jeffrey A. Hawk, David E. Alman&Michael C. Gao, npj
The empirical rules for the prediction of solid solution formation proposed so far in the literature usually have very compromised predictability. Some rules with seemingly good predictability were, however, tested using small data sets. Based on an unprecedented large dataset containing 1252 multicomponent alloys, machine-learning methods showed that the formation of solid solutions can be very accurately predicted (93%). The machine-learning results help identify the most important features, such as molar volume, bulk modulus, and melting temperature. As such a new thermodynamics-based rule was developed to predict solid–solution alloys. The new rule is nonetheless slightly less accurate (73%) but has roots in the physical nature of the problem. The new rule is employed to predict solid solutions existing in the three blocks, each of which consists of 9 elements. The predictions encompass face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and hexagonal closest packed (HCP) structures in a high throughput manner. The validity of the prediction is further confirmed by CALculations of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) calculations with high consistency (94%). Since the new thermodynamics-based rule employs only elemental properties, applicability in screening for solid solution high-entropy alloys is straightforward and efficient.
