A
machine learning-based model and method for predicting the composition, process, and
microstructure of difficult-to-deform alloys is presented, relating to the fields of intelligent
material design and
hot working technology. This method first constructs a composition-data-image
coupling matrix, cleaning up
data noise while preserving the true mechanical response. To address the problem of
unbalanced data-image distribution, a non-full-coverage sampling strategy of "typical
microstructure-key process" is proposed, supplementing images in low, medium, and high power dissipation regions to preserve the true sparse distribution. During the
training phase, supervised and semi-supervised
branch collaborative learning is employed, enabling the model to capture the microstructural differences of different alloys even with
small sample conditions. This achieves the nonlinear mapping between power dissipation coefficient and
dynamic recrystallization, quantitatively revealing the recrystallization mechanism transformation, and outputting the optimal
hot working window. This solves the problems of narrow
hot working process windows and unclear
microstructure-property mapping in difficult-to-deform alloys, and is applied to the intelligent
process optimization of NiTiHfx-based shape memory alloys.
