[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0052] The inventors of this application have discovered in practice that machine learning and first-principles simulation techniques have brought new opportunities for the research and development of titanium-based composite materials. Specifically, machine learning technology can establish quantitative models of the relationship between material composition, structure, and properties through learning and analysis of massive amounts of experimental and material performance data. This allows for rapid prediction of material performance under different conditions and the screening of material combinations with potential high performance. Compared to traditional experimental trial and error, machine learning offers a significant cost advantage in early-stage research. It can rapidly perform a large number of calculations and simulations in a virtual space, avoiding the costs associated with expensive experimental equipment purchases, material preparation, and complex testing processes. It can also perform preliminary screening of a large number of material systems in a short time, greatly narrowing down the scope requiring actual experimental verification, thereby effectively reducing research and development costs.
[0053] First-principles simulations, starting from the quantum mechanical level, accurately calculate various physicochemical properties of materials based on their atomic and electronic structures, providing a theoretical foundation for predicting material properties. They can deeply reveal the microscopic mechanisms behind material properties, providing more accurate physicochemical information for building machine learning models and improving the prediction accuracy of the models. By combining first-principles simulations with machine learning, the advantages of both can be fully utilized to achieve synergy. First-principles simulations provide high-precision theoretical data support for machine learning, while machine learning can quickly process and analyze large-scale simulation data, uncovering patterns and trends, further optimizing the calculation process and parameter selection of first-principles simulations, and improving simulation efficiency. Based on the above basic content, this application proposes the following embodiments.
[0054] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for designing the composition of a titanium-based composite material according to an embodiment of this application.
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the composition design method provided in this application is applied to electronic devices to design the components and content of each component of a titanium-based composite material to obtain a titanium-based composite material with satisfactory performance. This electronic device can be understood as a computer, server, or cloud platform with data computing and information processing capabilities. The composition design method specifically includes the following steps:
[0056] S1. Based on the machine learning module, the best enhancer is selected from a variety of enhancer elements.
[0057] Based on a pre-built machine learning model, various enhancer elements are screened to obtain the optimal enhancer that best meets user needs. The specific process is as follows:
[0058] First, a machine learning model is used to simulate and screen common reinforcing elements to select those with better compatibility in titanium-based composites. Then, the importance of each reinforcing element is ranked. Finally, the reinforcing elements with the highest ranking are determined as the best reinforcing elements.
[0059] In this invention, the machine learning model specifically employs a deep neural network (DNN) model. The DNN includes 3-5 hidden layers, with 34-256 neurons per layer. The activation function is ReLU or Sigmoid. The database setup typically involves the following steps: first, data cleaning to remove outliers and fill in missing values using K-nearest neighbor imputation; then, feature standardization, with numerical features such as the atomic weight of the enhancer normalized using Z-score normalization; finally, feature parameters with a correlation greater than 0.3 with the target performance are selected using Pearson correlation coefficient and recursive feature elimination.
[0060] Through practical screening, this application identifies the most common reinforcements that are most relevant to performance improvement, namely TiC, TiB, Gr, SiC, B4C, Ti5Si3, and TiN.
[0061] S2. First-principles simulations were performed on the optimal reinforcement and titanium matrix.
[0062] That is, first-principles simulations are performed on the optimal reinforcement and titanium matrix using material property simulation tools to obtain the corresponding simulation results, which include at least material composition data.
[0063] The optimal reinforcer, selected through machine learning, will be verified through first-principles simulation. In practice, the CASTEP module of Materials Studio, a quantum mechanics software, will be used to simulate the optimal reinforcer with a titanium matrix, analyzing the interaction mechanism between the reinforcer and the titanium matrix, as well as the in-situ transformation retention, laying the groundwork for subsequent comprehensive mechanical property simulation.
[0064] In the simulation, an ultrasoft pseudopotential was used to replace the interaction between ions and valence electrons; the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) method was used to correct for electron-electron interactions and associated potentials; the cutoff value was set to 280 eV; and a self-consistent field (SCF) solution was obtained using the Kohn-Sham (KS) equation and energy functionals until the total SCF energy converged to 4.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 eV / atom. Finally, by simulating the binding energy and thermal expansion coefficient between multiple elements and the titanium matrix, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the binding energy priority order is Gr>TiC>TiB>TiB2>SiC>B4C>Ti5Si3, and the thermal expansion coefficient priority order is TiB>Gr>TiC>TiB2>Ti5Si3>B4C>SiC. This further narrows down the range to three reinforcing elements: TiB, Gr, and TiC. Therefore, this application prepares titanium-based composite materials reinforced by these three reinforcing elements and attempts to achieve synergistic reinforcement between them.
[0065] S3. Based on the material composition data, sample processing and preparation are carried out to obtain titanium-based composite material samples.
[0066] Selective laser melting and forming of titanium composite powder using LPBF technology involves selectively melting and forming titanium composite powder layer by layer using lasers to obtain high-performance titanium-based composite materials. The forming process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the process parameters for selective laser melting forming include: powder spreading speed of 0.04 mm / s to 0.08 mm / s, laser power of 240 W to 300 W, scanning speed of 1800 mm / s to 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.10 mm to 0.14 mm.
[0068] For example, the powder spreading speed can be one of 0.04 mm / s, 0.05 mm / s, 0.06 mm / s, 0.07 mm / s, or 0.08 mm / s, or any value within the above range. The laser power can be one of 240 W, 250 W, 260 W, 270 W, 280 W, 290 W, or 300 W, or any value within the above range. The scanning speed can be one of 1800 mm / s, 1900 mm / s, or 2000 mm / s, or any value within the above range. The scanning spacing can be one of 0.10 mm, 0.11 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.13 mm, or 0.14 mm, or any value within the above range. In some embodiments of the present invention, titanium-based composite materials are formed using LPBF technology, with the following process parameters: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm. The following describes the preparation of titanium-based composite materials using TiB, Gr, and TiC as reinforcing elements and their combinations:
[0069] 1. Titanium diboride was used as a reinforcing phase source, reacting with the titanium matrix to generate a reinforcing phase. The titanium composite powder was then subjected to selective laser melting (LBL). The powder mixing was performed using high-energy ball milling at a speed of 200 r / min, a ball-to-powder ratio of 4:1, and a milling time of 6 h. To prevent oxidation of the powder during high-energy ball milling, an argon-sealed environment was used. The titanium diboride addition amounts were 0.25 wt%, 0.5 wt%, and 0.75 wt%. The specific LBL process parameters were: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm.
[0070] Figure 4 The specific morphology of the titanium boride-reinforced titanium matrix composite prepared by the LPBF process is shown. At a reinforcement ratio of 0.5 wt%, the titanium boride-reinforced titanium matrix composite achieved a density of over 99%, a tensile strength of 1211 MPa, an elongation of 4.11%, and a Young's modulus of 127 GPa. Due to the low solid solubility of boron in titanium, the boron is distributed in a needle-like pattern near the grain boundaries, resulting in fine grains and no cracks.
[0071] 2. Graphite powder is used as a carbon source to react with a titanium matrix to generate a titanium carbide reinforcing phase. The graphite-titanium composite powder is then formed by selective laser melting. The powder mixing is performed using high-energy ball milling at a speed of 200 r / min, a ball-to-powder ratio of 4:1, and a milling time of 6 hours. To prevent oxidation of the powder during high-energy ball milling, an argon-sealed environment is used. The graphite powder addition amounts are 0.25 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.75 wt%, and 1.5 wt%. The specific process parameters are: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm.
[0072] Figure 5 The specific morphology of the titanium carbide-reinforced titanium matrix composite prepared by the LPBF process is shown. With a reinforcement ratio of 0.25 wt%, the titanium boride-reinforced titanium matrix composite achieved a density of over 99%, a tensile strength of 1307 MPa, an elongation of 3.15%, and a Young's modulus of 131 GPa. Compared to titanium boride, titanium carbide exhibits a granular distribution within the titanium matrix, resulting in a higher overall tensile strength improvement in the titanium matrix composite, but with a significant reduction in plasticity.
[0073] 3. Using graphene as a reinforcing agent, graphene-titanium composite powder was selectively melted and shaped using laser. To reduce damage to the graphene lattice structure, low-energy ball milling was employed for powder mixing. The milling speed was 96 r / min, the ball-to-powder ratio was 4:1, and the milling time was 6 h. To avoid oxidation of the powder during high-energy ball milling, an argon-sealed environment was used. The graphene addition amounts were 0.25 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.75 wt%, and 1.5 wt%, respectively. The specific process parameters were: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm.
[0074] Figure 6 The morphology of the graphene-reinforced titanium matrix composite prepared by the LPBF process is shown. With a reinforcement ratio of 1.0 wt%, the graphene-reinforced titanium matrix composite achieved a density of over 99%, a tensile strength of 1344 MPa, an elongation of 3.24%, and a Young's modulus of 141 GPa. Compared to titanium boride and titanium carbide, the graphene-reinforced titanium matrix composite exhibited the highest overall mechanical properties. Graphene was uniformly distributed within the titanium matrix, and some titanium carbide was formed at the boundaries. It is speculated that the superior performance of this composite material is due not only to the excellent properties of graphene itself but also to the synergistic effect of the graphene and titanium carbide.
[0075] 4. Using graphene and titanium diboride as reinforcements, titanium diboride-graphene-titanium composite powder was formed by selective laser melting (LFBF). To reduce lattice damage to graphene, a composite ball milling process was used for powder mixing. First, titanium diboride and titanium powder were mixed by high-energy ball milling, with process parameters as described in Example 1. Then, graphene was added to the composite powder. The ball milling speed was 96 r / min, the ball-to-powder ratio was 4:1, and the milling time was 6 h. To avoid oxidation of the powder during high-energy ball milling, an argon-sealed environment was used. The graphene addition amounts were 0.25 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.75 wt%, and 1.5 wt%, respectively, and the titanium diboride addition amount was the same as that of graphene. The specific LFBF process parameters were: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm.
[0076] Figure 7 The morphology of the graphene-titanium boride reinforced titanium matrix composite prepared by the LPBF process is shown. With a reinforcement ratio of 1.0 wt%, the graphene-reinforced titanium matrix composite achieved a density of over 99%, a tensile strength of 1377 MPa, an elongation of 4.1%, and a Young's modulus of 143 GPa. Compared to titanium boride, titanium carbide, and graphene, the titanium boride-graphene composite reinforced titanium matrix composite exhibited the highest overall mechanical properties. Graphene was uniformly distributed within the titanium matrix, with some titanium carbide forming at the boundaries, while titanium boride was distributed in the matrix in a fine needle-like morphology. The two reinforced each other synergistically, improving the overall mechanical properties of the composite on one hand, and on the other hand, the addition of titanium boride inhibited crack initiation, passively inhibited crack propagation, and improved the plasticity of the composite.
[0077] Figure 8 The DOS diagram shows the titanium matrix reinforced with three reinforcing elements. Mechanical testing has confirmed that its performance meets user requirements; specific mechanical test results are as follows. Figure 9 As shown.
[0078] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a method for designing the composition of titanium-based composite materials. This method is applied to electronic devices. Specifically, it involves screening various reinforcing elements based on a pre-built machine learning model to obtain the optimal reinforcing element that meets user needs; performing first-principles simulations on the optimal reinforcing element and the titanium matrix using material performance simulation tools to obtain simulation results, including material composition data; and processing and preparing samples based on the material composition data to obtain titanium-based composite material samples. This application utilizes a machine learning model to identify the reinforcing material most relevant to improving the performance of titanium-based composite materials, and then uses first-principles simulation analysis to evaluate the interfacial bonding between the selected reinforcing elements and the titanium matrix. This avoids significant defects in the actual preparation process that reduce the overall mechanical properties of the material, thereby meeting the current complex and varied performance requirements of titanium-based composite materials.
[0079] In summary, applying machine learning and first-principles simulation techniques to predictive research and development of high-performance titanium-based composite materials can not only effectively reduce trial-and-error costs in early-stage research, but also achieve closed-loop optimization of the model through feedback from actual samples. This has significant scientific and practical value and is expected to become a key technology for the future research and development of titanium-based composite materials, providing strong material support for the development of high-end manufacturing.
[0080] In one specific embodiment of this application, the machine learning model is constructed through the following operations.
[0081] In this application, to achieve efficient prediction of the interaction between the titanium-based composite reinforcement and the matrix, a deep neural network (DNN) is used as the core architecture of the machine learning model, such as... Figure 10 As shown. First, various structural parameters of the reinforcements in current titanium-based composite materials are systematically collected and organized into a database. These parameters include ionic radius, covalent radius, ionization energy, and electronic configuration, which are used as inputs to the model, while element diffusion and migration energies are used as outputs. The deep neural network consists of 3–5 hidden layers, with 34–256 neurons per layer, and uses ReLU or Sigmoid activation functions. The database is typically built using the following steps: first, data cleaning to remove outliers, and then filling in missing values using K-nearest neighbor interpolation.
[0082] To ensure effective training and validation of the model, the collected dataset was allocated in a ratio of 8:2, 7:3, and 6:4, with a larger proportion of the data used for training the machine learning model and the remaining data used to validate its accuracy. During model training, Bayesian optimization was employed to adjust the model's hyperparameters, such as learning rate, batch size, and number of hidden layers. Furthermore, mean squared error was chosen as the loss function for the regression task, combined with L2 regularization. The dropout rate was also analyzed, with a value ranging from 0 to 0.5 to effectively prevent overfitting.
[0083] Meanwhile, to further verify the reliability of the model's predictions, this application utilized the CASTEP module in Materials Studio, a first-principles quantum mechanics software based on density functional theory, to simulate the interaction between the reinforcement and the material. During the simulation, detailed settings were implemented for various fundamental parameters: an ultrasoft pseudopotential was used to replace the interaction between ions and valence electrons; the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) method was used to correct for electron-electron interactions and associated potentials; the cutoff value was set to 280–310 eV; and a self-consistent field (SCF) solution was obtained using the Kohn-Sham (KS) equation and energy functionals until the total SCF energy converged to 4.5–6.0 × 10⁻⁶ eV. -6 eV / atom. In addition, other factors that may affect model performance were also considered, such as data preprocessing methods (e.g., standardization or normalization) and the model's generalization ability.

[0089] like Figure 11 As shown, the composition design device provided in this application is applied to an electronic device for designing the components and content of each component of a titanium-based composite material to obtain a titanium-based composite material with satisfactory performance. This electronic device can be understood as a computer, server, or cloud platform with data computing and information processing capabilities. Specifically, the composition design device includes an element screening module 10, a composition simulation module 20, and a preparation control module 30.
[0090] The element filtering module is used to select the best enhancer from a variety of enhancer elements based on the machine learning module.
[0091] Based on a pre-built machine learning model, various enhancer elements are screened to obtain the optimal enhancer that best meets user needs. The specific process is as follows:
[0092] First, a machine learning model is used to simulate and screen common reinforcing elements to select those with better compatibility in titanium-based composites. Then, the importance of each reinforcing element is ranked. Finally, the reinforcing elements with the highest ranking are determined as the best reinforcing elements.
[0093] In this invention, the machine learning model specifically employs a deep neural network (DNN) model. The DNN includes 3-5 hidden layers, with 34-256 neurons per layer.

[0094] Through practical screening, this application identifies the most common reinforcements that are most relevant to performance improvement, namely TiC, TiB, Gr, SiC, B4C, Ti5Si3, and TiN.
[0095] The composition simulation module is used to perform first-principles simulations of the optimal reinforcement and titanium matrix.
[0096] That is, first-principles simulations are performed on the optimal reinforcement and titanium matrix using material property simulation tools to obtain the corresponding simulation results, which include at least material composition data.
[0097] The optimal reinforcer, selected through machine learning, will be verified through first-principles simulation. In practice, the CASTEP module of Materials Studio, a quantum mechanics software, will be used to simulate the optimal reinforcer with a titanium matrix, analyzing the interaction mechanism between the reinforcer and the titanium matrix, as well as the in-situ transformation retention, laying the groundwork for subsequent comprehensive mechanical property simulation.
[0098] In the simulation, an ultrasoft pseudopotential was used to replace the interaction between ions and valence electrons; the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) method was used to correct for electron-electron interactions and associated potentials; the cutoff value was set to 280 eV; and a self-consistent field (SCF) solution was obtained using the Kohn-Sham (KS) equation and energy functionals until the total SCF energy converged to 4.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 eV / atom. Finally, by simulating the binding energy and thermal expansion coefficient between multiple elements and the titanium matrix, such as... Figure 2As shown, the binding energy priority order is Gr>TiC>TiB>TiB2>SiC>B4C>Ti5Si3, and the thermal expansion coefficient priority order is TiB>Gr>TiC>TiB2>Ti5Si3>B4C>SiC. This further narrows down the range to three reinforcing elements: TiB, Gr, and TiC. Therefore, this application prepares titanium-based composite materials reinforced by these three reinforcing elements and attempts to achieve synergistic reinforcement between them.
[0099] The preparation control module is used to process and prepare samples based on material composition data to obtain titanium-based composite material samples.
[0100] Selective laser melting and forming of titanium composite powder using LPBF technology involves selectively melting and forming titanium composite powder layer by layer using lasers to obtain high-performance titanium-based composite materials. The forming process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the process parameters for selective laser melting forming include: powder spreading speed of 0.04 mm / s to 0.08 mm / s, laser power of 240 W to 300 W, scanning speed of 1800 mm / s to 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.10 mm to 0.14 mm.
[0102] For example, the powder spreading speed can be one of 0.04 mm / s, 0.05 mm / s, 0.06 mm / s, 0.07 mm / s, or 0.08 mm / s, or any value within the above range. The laser power can be one of 240 W, 250 W, 260 W, 270 W, 280 W, 290 W, or 300 W, or any value within the above range. The scanning speed can be one of 1800 mm / s, 1900 mm / s, or 2000 mm / s, or any value within the above range. The scanning spacing can be one of 0.10 mm, 0.11 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.13 mm, or 0.14 mm, or any value within the above range. In some embodiments of the present invention, titanium-based composite materials are formed using LPBF technology, with the following process parameters: powder spreading speed of 0.06 mm / s, laser power of 280 W, scanning speed of 2000 mm / s, and scanning spacing of 0.12 mm.
[0103] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a composition design device for titanium-based composite materials. This device is applied to electronic devices. Specifically, it screens various reinforcing elements based on a pre-built machine learning model to obtain the optimal reinforcing element that meets user needs; it then performs first-principles simulations on the optimal reinforcing element and the titanium matrix using a material performance simulation tool to obtain simulation results, including material composition data; finally, it processes and prepares samples based on the material composition data to obtain titanium-based composite material samples. This application utilizes a machine learning model to identify the reinforcing material most relevant to improving the performance of titanium-based composite materials, and then uses first-principles simulation analysis to evaluate the interfacial bonding between the selected reinforcing elements and the titanium matrix. This avoids significant defects in the actual preparation process that reduce the overall mechanical properties of the material, thereby meeting the current complex and varied performance requirements of titanium-based composite materials.
[0104] In summary, applying machine learning and first-principles simulation techniques to predictive research and development of high-performance titanium-based composite materials can not only effectively reduce trial-and-error costs in early-stage research, but also achieve closed-loop optimization of the model through feedback from actual samples. This has significant scientific and practical value and is expected to become a key technology for the future research and development of titanium-based composite materials, providing strong material support for the development of high-end manufacturing.
[0105] In one specific embodiment of this application, a model building module 40 is also included, such as... Figure 12 As shown, this module is used to build the machine learning model through the following operations.
[0106] In this application, to achieve efficient prediction of the interaction between the titanium-based composite reinforcement and the matrix, a deep neural network (DNN) is used as the core architecture of the machine learning model, such as... Figure 10 As shown. First, various structural parameters of the reinforcements in current titanium-based composite materials are systematically collected and organized into a database. These parameters include ionic radius, covalent radius, ionization energy, and electronic configuration, which are used as inputs to the model, while element diffusion and migration energies are used as outputs. The deep neural network consists of 3–5 hidden layers, with 34–256 neurons per layer, and uses ReLU or Sigmoid activation functions. The database is typically built using the following steps: first, data cleaning to remove outliers, and then filling in missing values using K-nearest neighbor interpolation.
[0107] To ensure effective training and validation of the model, the collected dataset was allocated in a ratio of 8:2, 7:3, and 6:4, with a larger proportion of the data used for training the machine learning model and the remaining data used to validate its accuracy. During model training, Bayesian optimization was employed to adjust the model's hyperparameters, such as learning rate, batch size, and number of hidden layers. Furthermore, mean squared error was chosen as the loss function for the regression task, combined with L2 regularization. The dropout rate was also analyzed, with a value ranging from 0 to 0.5 to effectively prevent overfitting.
[0108] Meanwhile, to further verify the reliability of the model's predictions, this application utilized the CASTEP module in Materials Studio, a first-principles quantum mechanics software based on density functional theory, to simulate the interaction between the reinforcement and the material. During the simulation, detailed settings were implemented for various fundamental parameters: an ultrasoft pseudopotential was used to replace the interaction between ions and valence electrons; the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) method was used to correct for electron-electron interactions and associated potentials; the cutoff value was set to 280–310 eV; and a self-consistent field (SCF) solution was obtained using the Kohn-Sham (KS) equation and energy functionals until the total SCF energy converged to 4.5–6.0 × 10⁻⁶ eV. -6 eV / atom. In addition, other factors that may affect model performance were also considered, such as data preprocessing methods (e.g., standardization or normalization) and the model's generalization ability.
