| Abstract Scope |
The field of high-entropy and complex, concentrated alloys (HEAs and CCAs) has opened a cosmically vast range of new alloy compositions. Common approaches to explore this space are strikingly similar to methods used in the late eighteenth century. As a result, after 20 years, the HEA-CCA field has hardly been sampled, and radically new methods are needed. Autonomous experimentation (AE) combines artificial intelligence with robotics and automation to vastly accelerate the exploration of new materials. Many fields already benefit from an early adoption of AE, including chemistry, biology and pharmaceuticals. HEAs and CCAs absolutely demand the use of AE, but bulk metallic and ceramic materials bring major challenges to accepted AE methods. This presentation briefly introduces the AE field, then focuses on advances needed to study HEAs-CCAs via AE. The talk by closes with a description of new efforts that are just getting started in developing these new advances. |
