Reverse design of nickel-based superalloys based on thermodynamic calculation and machine learning
The combination of thermodynamic calculation and machine learning was used to reverse design nickel-based superalloys for thermodynamic performance requirements. The results show that the thermodynamic calculation dataset of nickel-based superalloys is successfully constructed by high-throughput thermodynamic calculations,which provides the data basis for the reverse design of nickel-based superalloys with thermodynamic performance requirements by using machine learning methods. Several C2P models are established for the thermodynamic target performance,and the accuracy of the models is higher than 99%. MLDS method is used to reverse design the alloy composition,and the eight alloys are recommended to meet the performance requirements (Vγ′,1100 ℃≥60%,Vγ,1100 ℃+Vγ′,1100 ℃≥99% and Tγ′≥1300 ℃). The experimental verification of the three alloys with the smallest prediction error of thermomechanical properties shows that the Vγ′,1100 ℃ are greater than 80%,Vγ,1100 ℃+Vγ′,1100 ℃≥99% in the microstructure after aging,and Tγ′≥1300 ℃,which meet the design requirements.
