Metallurgy and material design have thousands of years' history played a critical role in the civilization process humankind. The traditional trial-and-error method has been unprecedentedly challenged modern era when number components phases novel alloys keeps increasing, with high-entropy as representative. New opportunities emerge for alloy artificial intelligence era. Here, successful machine-learning (ML) developed to identify microstructure images eye-challenging morphology martensitic...
A phase-field model is proposed to simulate corrosion kinetics under a dual-oxidant atmosphere. It will be demonstrated that the can applied oxidation, sulfidation and simultaneous oxidation/sulfidation processes. Phase-dependent diffusivities are incorporated in natural manner allow more realistic modeling as usually differ by many orders of magnitude different phases. Simple free energy models then used for testing while calibrated implemented quantitative modeling.
Abstract The formation and temporal evolution of domain structures during a hexagonal → orthorhombic transformation is studied using computer simulations based on continuum diffuse-interface phase-field approach. All the essential driving forces for are taken into account, including bulk chemical free energy, wall energy elastic strain energy. various configurations observed from show excellent agreement with existing experimental observations in number systems undergoing or monoclinic...
Oxidation of metals generally involves coupling between chemical reactions, mass transport, and electrostatic interaction, oxidation kinetics is usually a multiscale problem. Existing theories mostly work for either very thin oxide film or thick one, leaving length scale gap kinetics. An electrochemistry based diffuse-interface model plus multiscale-relay scheme are developed to study in gas–oxide–metal environment. The allows the coherently cover wide range lengths times transition stage...
