The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0032] The data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method and device according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Aiming at the technical problem in the related art mentioned in the above background technology that predicting the phase composition of high-entropy alloys through high-throughput experimental exploration or semi-empirical phase diagram calculation is time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of prediction, which seriously affects the development process of high-performance alloys, the present application provides a data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method includes the following steps:

[0035] In step S101, at least one phase composition feature of the high-entropy alloy to be measured is obtained.

[0036] In the actual execution process, the embodiment of the present application can obtain at least one phase composition feature of the high-entropy alloy to be measured, providing a basis for subsequent screening of the optimal feature combination of the high-entropy alloy.

[0037] In step S102, the optimal feature combination of the high-entropy alloy to be measured is screened from at least one phase composition feature.

[0038] Specifically, after obtaining at least one phase composition feature of the high-entropy alloy to be measured in the embodiments of the present application, screening can be performed on it, and then an optimal feature combination of the high-entropy alloy to be measured can be obtained. Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the obtained phase composition features can be screened to obtain an optimal feature combination, which is convenient for subsequent prediction of the high-entropy alloy phase composition using a pre-trained phase composition prediction model, conducive to improving the accuracy of analysis, reducing the workload of experimentally searching for stable high-entropy alloys, accelerating the development process, and saving cost resources and time.

[0039] In step S103, based on the optimal feature combination, using the pre-trained phase composition prediction model, the phase composition result of the high-entropy alloy to be measured is predicted, where the phase composition result includes one of a solid solution phase, an intermetallic compound, and an amorphous state.

[0040] As a possible implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, a pre-trained phase composition prediction model can be used to predict and obtain the phase composition result of the high-entropy alloy to be measured, and the phase composition result includes one of a solid solution phase, an intermetallic compound, and an amorphous state, where the pre-trained phase composition model will be elaborated in detail later. In the embodiments of the present application, the obtained phase composition features can be screened to obtain an optimal feature combination, and the pre-trained phase composition prediction model can be used to predict the optimal feature combination, and then the phase composition result of the high-entropy alloy to be measured can be obtained, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of analysis, reducing the workload of experimentally searching for stable high-entropy alloys, accelerating the development process, and saving cost resources and time.

[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, before using the pre-trained phase composition prediction model, it further includes: obtaining a phase composition training data set of the high-entropy alloy; calculating at least one feature of the high-entropy alloy from the phase composition training data set; calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the features, and generating an optimal feature combination according to the Pearson correlation coefficient between the features; training a machine learning model using the most characteristic combination, and determining a phase composition prediction model based on the target accuracy condition.

[0042] Here, the establishment of the pre-trained phase composition prediction model will be elaborated in detail.

[0043] The establishment of the pre-trained phase composition prediction model mainly includes the following steps:

[0044] 1. Obtain a high-entropy alloy phase composition data set. Among them, the high-entropy alloy phase composition is one of a solid solution phase, an intermetallic compound, and an amorphous state.

[0045] 2. Design a feature parameter calculation program according to the high-entropy alloy chemical formula. In the embodiments of the present application, a feature parameter calculation program can be designed according to the high-entropy alloy chemical formula, which is conducive to improving the applicability and practicability of the phase composition prediction model, and is conducive to improving the accuracy of the prediction analysis result of the phase composition prediction model.

[0046] 3. Screen the optimal feature combination according to feature engineering. During the actual execution process, the embodiments of the present application can screen at least one phase composition feature obtained and obtain the optimal feature combination. The embodiments of the present application can calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between all features. As Figure 2 shown, generally speaking, for features with a relatively large correlation, the content they describe is closer. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can choose to eliminate these three features δ r , δ χ , to ensure that the Pearson coefficient between the remaining 13 features is less than 0.9, which helps to reduce the training difficulty and prevent dimensional explosion.

[0047] 4. Train a machine learning model and determine the best model according to the accuracy of each model on the validation set. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can randomly select 80% of the data from the data set as the training set, and the remaining 20% as the validation set, use 5-fold cross-validation to improve the data set utilization efficiency, and determine the best model according to the accuracy of each model on the validation set.

[0048] 5. Evaluate the applicability of the model and the importance of each feature parameter. The embodiments of the present application can obtain the importance ranking of features according to the importance analysis attribute in the algorithm, and then realize the evaluation of the applicability of the model and the importance of each feature parameter, so as to ensure the accuracy of the model output result.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application can use the above-mentioned pre-established and trained phase composition prediction model to predict the phase composition of unknown high-entropy alloys, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of analysis, reducing the workload of experimental search for stable high-entropy alloys, accelerating the development process, and saving cost resources and time.

[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, at least one includes configurational entropy, mixing enthalpy, average valence electron concentration, valence electron concentration difference, average electronegativity, electronegativity difference, atomic radius difference, melting point difference, Ω parameter, λ parameter, local atomic distortion parameter, γ parameter, δH mix dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance and at least one of the dimensionless mixing enthalpy variances.

[0051] Specifically, the embodiments of the present application can design a feature parameter calculation program according to the high-entropy alloy chemical formula, where the feature parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0052] Table 1

[0053]

[0054] In summary, the characteristic parameters include: configurational entropy, mixing enthalpy, average valence electron concentration, valence electron concentration difference, average electronegativity, electronegativity difference, atomic radius difference, melting point difference, Ω parameter, λ parameter, local atomic distortion parameter, γ parameter, δH mix Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance sum, and Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance.

[0055] It should be noted that an alloy composition identification program can be introduced before calculating the characteristic parameters in the embodiments of the present application to prevent data duplication.

[0056] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the machine learning model includes at least one of a K-nearest neighbor model, a support vector machine model, a decision tree model, a random forest model, and an extreme gradient boosting algorithm model.

[0057] For example, the machine learning model participating in the training can be at least one of K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost). In the embodiments of the present application, the best model can be determined according to the accuracy of each model on the validation set. As Figure 3 shown, among them, the best performing is the XGBoost algorithm model with an accuracy of 0.85. Hyperparameter tuning is performed by the grid search method. The XGBoost model parameters are: the number of weak learners n_estimators: 90, the depth of the tree max_depth: 12, and the learning rate controlling the weight reduction system of each weak learner: 0.2.

[0058] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after determining the phase composition prediction model based on the target accuracy condition, it further includes: obtaining the importance ranking of features according to the importance analysis attribute in the algorithm, and performing grid division in the feature space to obtain the decision boundary of the phase composition prediction model.

[0059] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, it can be seen that different classification models have different sensitivities to features. Geometric features represented by atomic radius, such as λ, and thermodynamic features represented by entropy and enthalpy, such as ΔH mix , these features have a high influence factor when training the model. However, chemical features represented by electronegativity, such as δ χ , these features have a relatively small influence on training the model. In the embodiments of the present application, two parameters, ΔH, representing the geometric features and thermodynamic features of high-entropy alloys, can be selected according to the above feature importance analysis. mix, γ, using them as reference coordinates for the distribution in the feature space, and according to the trained XGBoost model, performing grid division calculations in the space to obtain the decision boundaries for each category in the model, and then plotting the distribution map of the validation set data in the decision space. As Figure 5 shown, the XGBoost model has a large number of decision tree calculations. By adding a regularization term to prevent overfitting, its decision boundaries are usually regular and can still be distinguished even when the sample space distributions are similar. The decision boundaries are fine and specific, indicating that the XGBoost model demonstrates good applicability and effectiveness in the prediction of high-entropy alloy phase compositions.

[0060] Next, in combination with Figures 2 to 6 shown, a specific example is used to elaborate in detail the working principle of the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method according to the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the embodiments of the present application include the following steps:

[0061] Step S601: Obtain a high-entropy alloy phase composition data set. The embodiments of the present application can obtain at least one phase composition feature of the high-entropy alloy to be measured, providing a basis for subsequent screening of the optimal feature combination of the high-entropy alloy. Among them, the high-entropy alloy phase composition is one of a solid solution phase, an intermetallic compound, and an amorphous state.

[0062] Step S602: Design a feature parameter calculation program according to the high-entropy alloy chemical formula. Specifically, the embodiments of the present application can design a feature parameter calculation program according to the high-entropy alloy chemical formula, where the feature parameters include: configurational entropy, mixing enthalpy, average valence electron concentration, valence electron concentration difference, average electronegativity, electronegativity difference, atomic radius difference, melting point difference, Ω parameter, λ parameter, local atomic distortion parameter, γ parameter, δH mix dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, and dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance.

[0063] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can introduce an alloy composition identification program before calculating the feature parameters to prevent data duplication.

[0064] Step S603: Screen the optimal feature combination according to feature engineering. The embodiments of the present application can calculate the Pearson correlation coefficients between all features. As Figure 2 shown, generally speaking, for features with a relatively large correlation, the content they describe is closer. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can choose to eliminate these three features δ r , δ χ , ensuring that the Pearson coefficients between the remaining 13 features are less than 0.9, which helps to reduce the training difficulty and prevent dimensional explosion.

[0065] Step S604: Train and select a machine learning model. In an embodiment of the present application, 80% of the data can be randomly selected from the data set as the training set, and the remaining 20% as the validation set. 5-fold cross-validation is adopted to improve the data set utilization efficiency, and the best model is determined according to the accuracy of each model on the validation set.

[0066] For example, the machine learning models participating in the training can be at least one of K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). In an embodiment of the present application, the best model can be determined according to the accuracy of each model on the validation set. As Figure 3 shown, among them, the best-performing is the XGBoost algorithm model, with an accuracy of 0.85. Hyperparameter tuning is performed by the grid search method. The XGBoost model parameters are: the number of weak learners n_estimators: 90, the depth of the tree max_depth: 12, and the weight reduction coefficient learning_rate: 0.2 that controls the weight of each weak learner.

[0067] Step S605: Conduct feature importance and model applicability analysis. In an embodiment of the present application, the importance ranking of features can be obtained according to the importance analysis attributes in the algorithm, and then the applicability of the XGBoost model and the importance of each feature parameter are evaluated.

[0068] As Figure 4 shown, it can be seen from this that different classification models have different sensitivities to features. Geometric features represented by atomic radius, such as λ, and thermodynamic features represented by entropy and enthalpy, such as ΔH mix , these features have a high influence factor when training the model. However, chemical features represented by electronegativity, such as δ χ , these features have a relatively small influence on training the model. In an embodiment of the present application, according to the above feature importance analysis, two parameters ΔH mix and γ that respectively represent the geometric features and thermodynamic features of high-entropy alloys can be selected as the reference coordinates for the feature space distribution. And according to the trained XGBoost model, grid division calculation is performed in the space to obtain the decision boundary of each category in the model, and then the distribution map of the validation set data in the decision space is drawn. As Figure 5 shown, the XGBoost model has a large number of decision tree calculations. By adding a regularization term to prevent overfitting, its decision boundary is usually regular and can still be distinguished even when the sample space distributions are similar. The decision boundary is fine and specific. The XGBoost model shows good applicability and effectiveness in the prediction of high-entropy alloy phase composition.

[0069] Step S606: Predict the unknown high-entropy alloy according to the trained model.

[0070] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, a prediction model is established and trained through steps S601 - S605. In the actual implementation process, in the embodiment of the present application, only the chemical formula of the high-entropy alloy to be predicted needs to be input into the prediction model, and the prediction analysis of the phase composition of the high-entropy alloy can be obtained.

[0071] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the chemical formula of the high-entropy alloy to be predicted can be input into the program, and the trained XGBoost model is used for prediction and output. Here, taking three different types of high-entropy alloys as examples, as shown in Table 2, the comparison with the actual results shows that the model can correctly predict the phase compositions of these three high-entropy alloys, achieving the prediction effect. Among them, Table 2 is the phase composition prediction table.

[0074] According to the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method proposed by the embodiment of the present application, the obtained phase composition features can be screened to obtain the optimal feature combination, and the pre-trained phase composition prediction model is used to predict the optimal feature combination, thereby accurately predicting the phase composition result of the high-entropy alloy to be tested, improving the prediction accuracy, effectively reducing the workload of experimentally searching for stable high-entropy alloys, facilitating the acceleration of the development process and saving cost resources and time, while effectively meeting the phase composition prediction requirements of high-entropy alloys and enhancing the prediction experience. Thus, the technical problem in the related art of predicting the phase composition of high-entropy alloys through high-throughput experimental exploration or semi-empirical phase diagram calculation, which is time-consuming and laborious and difficult to ensure the prediction accuracy, and thus seriously affects the development process of high-performance alloys, is solved.

[0076] Figure 7 It is a block diagram of the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction device according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0077] As Figure 7 shown, the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction device 10 includes: a feature acquisition module 100, a screening module 200, and a prediction module 300.

[0078] Specifically, the feature acquisition module 100 is used to acquire at least one phase composition feature of the high-entropy alloy to be tested.

[0079] The screening module 200 is used to screen the optimal feature combination of the high-entropy alloy to be measured from at least one phase composition feature.

[0081] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the prediction module 300 includes: an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, a generation unit, and a training unit.

[0082] Among them, the acquisition unit is used to acquire the phase composition training data set of the high-entropy alloy.

[0083] The calculation unit is used to calculate at least one feature of the high-entropy alloy from the phase composition training data set.

[0084] The generation unit is used to calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between features and generate an optimal feature combination according to the Pearson correlation coefficient between features.

[0085] The training unit is used to train a machine learning model by using the most characteristic combination and determine a phase composition prediction model based on the target accuracy condition.

[0086] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the training unit is further used to obtain the importance ranking of features according to the importance analysis attribute in the algorithm and perform grid division in the feature space to obtain the decision boundary of the phase composition prediction model.

[0087] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the machine learning model includes at least one of a K-nearest neighbor model, a support vector machine model, a decision tree model, a random forest model, and an extreme gradient boosting algorithm model.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, at least one includes configurational entropy, mixing enthalpy, average valence electron concentration, valence electron concentration difference, average electronegativity, electronegativity difference, atomic radius difference, melting point difference, Ω parameter, λ parameter, local atomic distortion parameter, γ parameter, δH mix Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance, Dimensionless mixing enthalpy variance and At least one of the dimensionless mixing enthalpy variances.

[0089] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the embodiments of the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction method also applies to the data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0090] The data-driven high-entropy alloy phase composition prediction device proposed according to the embodiments of the present application can screen the obtained phase composition features, obtain the optimal feature combination, and use the pre-trained phase composition prediction model to predict the optimal feature combination, thereby accurately predicting the phase composition result of the high-entropy alloy to be tested, improving the prediction accuracy, effectively reducing the workload of experimentally searching for stable high-entropy alloys, facilitating the acceleration of the development process and saving cost resources and time, while effectively meeting the phase composition prediction requirements of high-entropy alloys and enhancing the prediction experience. Thus, it solves the technical problem in the related art that predicting the phase composition of high-entropy alloys through high-throughput experimental exploration or semi-empirical phase diagram calculation is time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to ensure the prediction accuracy, which seriously affects the development process of high-performance alloys.
