Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence-assisted material design, specifically to an alloy design method and system based on an expert-optimized trajectory learning framework, which is particularly suitable for the rapid screening and recommendation of alloy composition and thermomechanical processing conditions for high strength and high plasticity synergistic optimization. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and other fields, the demand for high-performance alloy materials is becoming increasingly urgent. Traditional alloy design mainly relies on trial and error and the accumulated experience of researchers. This traditional R&D model based on physical metallurgy is not only time-consuming and costly, but also falls short when faced with the vast space of compositional design, severely restricting the development process of new high-performance alloys.

[0003] In recent years, machine learning technology, with its powerful high-dimensional data modeling capabilities, has been widely introduced into the field of materials informatics, providing a new data-driven paradigm for alloy design. By mining the implicit "composition-property" mapping relationship in existing experimental data, machine learning models can quickly predict the mechanical properties of unknown compositions, significantly narrowing the scope of experimental verification. For example, Chinese patent CN 115579091 A discloses a multi-property collaborative optimization method for high-entropy alloy composition design based on machine learning. After establishing a machine learning model, the Pareto front is determined by calculating the expected improvement value of each property in the composition space, and then the cluster centers are obtained through cluster analysis, thereby achieving efficient composition design for multi-property collaborative optimization of high-entropy alloys.

[0004] However, the final properties of a material depend not only on its chemical composition but also heavily on processing conditions. While existing machine learning techniques have made some progress in predicting single properties, current algorithms still have significant limitations, failing to simultaneously and accurately predict alloy composition and processing conditions. Specifically, the shortcomings of existing technologies are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, existing machine learning models often only establish unidirectional positive predictions of "composition-property," and few algorithms can achieve multi-variable joint predictions including alloy processing conditions (such as rolling deformation, annealing temperature, and time). Second, the strength and plasticity of alloys typically exhibit an inverse relationship of mutual constraint in physical metallurgy. Current algorithms, when performing multi-objective optimization, often get trapped in local optima due to the lack of an effective fusion mechanism for the material's intrinsic physical mechanisms.

[0005] In summary, overcoming the shortcomings of existing machine learning algorithms and constructing a design method that can comprehensively consider and accurately predict alloy composition and process conditions, and achieve synergistic optimization of high strength and high plasticity, is a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in the field of alloy material research and development. Summary of the Invention

[0051]

[0052] The final model output is provided by Provided.

[0053] Furthermore, in step S3, the recommendation method uses the Monte Carlo Dropout method to estimate the posterior distribution of each candidate alloy and process condition, and uses the noisy expected hypervolume improvement (qNEHVI) acquisition function to balance the ultimate tensile strength and elongation for recommendation.

[0054] Furthermore, in step S3, the prediction uncertainty is quantified using the Monte Carlo Dropout method:

[0055] During inference, the Dropout layer remains active and performs N random forward propagations to generate a set of predictions:

[0056]

[0057] The predicted average and uncertainty estimates are as follows:

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] Assuming approximate normality, the 95% confidence interval is estimated as follows: .

[0061] Furthermore, the alloy design method based on the expert-optimized trajectory learning framework also includes: experimentally verifying the recommended composition and thermomechanical processing parameters;

[0062] This invention also provides an alloy design system based on an expert-optimized trajectory learning framework. The system employs the method described above to achieve joint optimization design of alloy composition and thermomechanical processing parameters. The system includes:

[0063] The acquisition module is used to acquire training data, which includes the alloy composition, thermomechanical processing parameters, test parameters, and the corresponding measured values ​​of ultimate tensile strength and elongation.

[0064] The trajectory construction module is used to sort experimental records of the same composition under different process conditions from low to high according to comprehensive performance index to construct an ordered trajectory, and calculate the state vector of each trajectory point. The trajectory data containing alloy composition, process parameters, test parameters, state vector and corresponding measured mechanical properties are output to the training module.

[0065] The training module is used to input the trajectory data into the Alloy Trajectory Optimization Network (ATON) for training to obtain a trained machine learning model; and output the ATON model parameters after training to the evaluation module and the prediction module simultaneously.

[0066] The evaluation module is used to evaluate the robustness of the established machine learning model;

It compares the measured values ​​with the predicted confidence intervals and feeds the verification results back to the training module to trigger incremental learning and iterative optimization of the model.

[0071] Third, this invention also provides a method for preparing an AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0072] Using the alloy design method based on the expert-optimized trajectory learning framework, recommended alloy compositions and corresponding thermomechanical processing parameters are selected from the composition space of Al-Co-Cr-Fe-Ni high-entropy alloys.

[0074] The as-cast alloy is rolled, deformed, and annealed according to the recommended thermomechanical processing parameters to obtain the finished alloy.

[0075] Furthermore, the selected recommended alloy composition, by mass percentage, is Al: 5~8 wt.%, Co: 15~18 wt.%, Cr: 15~18 wt.%, Fe: 15~18 wt.%, Ni: balance; the recommended thermomechanical processing parameters are: rolling deformation: 65~85%, annealing temperature: 600~800 ℃, annealing time: 0.5-4 h, strain rate: 1×10⁻⁶ -3 s -1 .

[0076] Fourth, the present invention also provides a high-entropy alloy, characterized in that it is prepared by the above-mentioned high-entropy alloy preparation method.

[0077] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0078] 1) By using a multi-encoder architecture to take alloy composition, thermomechanical processing parameters (including categorical and continuous variables) and test conditions as joint inputs, synchronous and accurate prediction of alloy composition and process conditions is achieved in the same framework, enabling rapid and accurate prediction of the composition and process conditions of high-strength-ductile alloys.

[0079] 2) By representing the performance evolution of the same component under different process conditions through trajectory data, the model organizes it into an ordered trajectory, enabling it to learn the physical metallurgical laws inherent in the optimization path "from low performance to high performance." Simultaneously, the task prediction head allows ultimate tensile strength and elongation to learn independent feature representations, and the adaptive gating mechanism dynamically adjusts the contribution of component features according to the process state. The synergistic effect of these three elements allows the model to effectively balance strength and plasticity and perform collaborative optimization, avoiding getting trapped in local optima.

[0080] 3) The Monte Carlo Dropout method is used to provide a complete posterior distribution estimate and a 95% confidence interval during the prediction phase, enabling researchers to quantitatively assess the predictive risk of each candidate solution. Combined with the qNEHVI acquisition function's multi-objective optimization strategy under uncertainty, the recommended candidate solutions take into account both the prediction mean and prediction variance, significantly improving the relevance and success rate of experimental validation.

[0085] This invention provides a trajectory-based table learning framework alloy design method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0086] S1: Establish a dataset of mechanical properties for thermomechanical processing of alloys.

[0087] A literature review was conducted on target alloy systems (including but not limited to high-entropy alloys, titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and nickel-based superalloys), collecting composition, thermomechanical processing parameters, test parameters, and mechanical property data for different alloy systems to establish an alloy thermomechanical processing mechanical property dataset.

[0090] S4: Experimentally verify the recommended alloy composition and thermomechanical processing parameters.

[0091] Example 1

[0092] This invention provides an alloy design method based on an expert-optimized trajectory learning framework, the method comprising the following steps:

[0093] S1: A literature review was conducted on high-entropy alloys, collecting data on the composition, thermomechanical processing parameters, test parameters, and mechanical properties of different high-entropy alloy systems. A total of 1000 samples were collected to establish a dataset of high-entropy alloy thermomechanical processing mechanical properties. The composition includes the types and amounts of elements that make up the alloy; the thermomechanical processing parameters include rolling process parameters, heat treatment process parameters, and other thermomechanical processing conditions; the test parameter is the strain rate; and the mechanical properties include ultimate tensile strength and elongation.

[0094] S2: The dataset is divided into an 80% training set and a 20% test set. The composition of all elements in the dataset, thermomechanical processing parameters, and strain rates are used as input data. A machine learning model is trained using the Alloy Trajectory Optimization Network (ATON) algorithm. Root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R²) are used. 2 We will then evaluate the model's performance. Next steps will follow.

[0095] S3: A virtual composition space was constructed to explore potential novel alloys. This virtual composition space consisted of compositions observed in the training dataset; process parameters were systematically varied within experimentally feasible limits. Specifically, rolling deformation varied from its minimum to its maximum observed value in 1% increments. Annealing temperature was scanned from its minimum to its maximum value in 5°C increments, and annealing time varied in 0.5-h increments. The strain rate was fixed at 1 × 10⁻⁶. -3 s -1This method generates a virtual composition space containing 20,000 potential high-entropy alloys and uses the established Alloy Trajectory Optimization Network (ATON) machine learning model to predict ultimate tensile strength and elongation. Then, based on the posterior predictions generated by ATON, a noisy expected hypervolume improvement (qNEHVI) acquisition function is used to rank the candidate conditions. qNEHVI optimization is performed via the Bgolearn API, thereby achieving efficient multi-objective optimization under prediction uncertainty and recommending high-entropy alloys with both high ultimate tensile strength and high elongation.

[0096] Based on the recommendations, the preferred alloy composition and thermomechanical processing parameters are as follows:

[0097] Al: 5~8 wt. %, Co: 15~18 wt. %, Cr: 15~18 wt. %, Fe: 15~18 wt. %, Ni: balance.

[0098] Rolling deformation: 65~85%, annealing temperature: 600~800 ℃, annealing time: 0.5 - 4 h.

[0099] Example:

[0100] Based on the recommended results of steps S1-S3 above, this embodiment selects a high-entropy alloy with the following composition (by mass percentage): 8% Al, 17% Co, 15% Cr, 16% Fe, with the balance being Ni (i.e., 8Al-17Co-15Cr-16Fe-Ni) for verification. The recommended thermomechanical processing technology is: rolling deformation of 65%, annealing temperature of 800℃, and annealing time of 1 hour.

[0101] High-purity (≥99.9 wt%) Al, Co, Cr, Fe, and Ni metal particles were used as raw materials and accurately weighed according to the above-mentioned component ratios. Melting was carried out in a vacuum arc melting furnace under a high-purity argon protective atmosphere. To ensure the uniformity of the alloy composition, the resulting alloy ingot was flipped and remelted, a process repeated eight times. Subsequently, the uniform alloy melt was drawn into a water-cooled copper mold using a suction casting method to obtain a cast alloy ingot.

[0102] The cast alloy ingots were cut into plates of suitable size and cold rolled at room temperature, with the total deformation precisely controlled at 65%. The rolled plates were then placed in a box-type resistance furnace preheated to 800°C for annealing. After holding at that temperature for 1 hour, they were removed and quickly water-quenched to obtain a recrystallized structure and a good balance of strength and plasticity.

[0103] Standard "dog bone" (plate-shaped) tensile specimens are machined from rolled and annealed sheet metal using wire cutting. The surface of the specimens is then polished sequentially with silicon carbide sandpaper, from coarse to fine (up to 2000 grit), to remove machining marks.

[0104] Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on tensile specimens at room temperature using a universal testing machine, with the initial strain rate set to 1 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ to 1 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹. To ensure data reliability, three parallel specimens of the same alloy condition were tested, and their average values ​​were calculated.

[0105] Figure 2 The engineering stress-strain curves of the alloy in this embodiment are shown. Test results demonstrate that the alloy possesses excellent mechanical properties: a yield strength of 1.3 GPa, an ultimate tensile strength of 1.6 GPa, and an elongation after fracture of 17.6%. This result perfectly achieves the synergistic optimization of high strength and high plasticity.

[0106] The measured performance data was compared with the predicted mean and 95% confidence interval given in step S33. The measured values ​​all fell well within the predicted interval, which fully verifies the accuracy and reliability of the alloy design method based on the expert optimization trajectory learning framework proposed in this invention. This method effectively shortens the cycle from composition design to experimental verification, providing a powerful data-driven tool for the rapid development of advanced high-performance alloys.

[0107] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
