| Abstract Scope |
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have received significant attention for their ability to create components with locally tailored properties. The vast design freedom afforded by FGMs has also necessitated computational methods to select optimal gradients from the sea of possibilities. One popular set of approaches uses equilibrium phase data mined using CALPHAD and path planning algorithms to construct composition gradients that are free of intermetallics. We have previously developed a computational framework that directly couples CALPHAD sampling with modified path planning algorithms to intelligently search the composition space orders of magnitude faster than previous approaches, enabling gradient design in many-element systems. Now we turn our attention to optimizing beyond equilibrium by expanding our framework to account for diffusion and phase formation. This provides insight as to how a gradient can be synthesized from precursors and its stability once formed, key information which can be used to design optimal gradients. |
