2022 IRG-1 Publication: Data-Driven Prediction of Grain Boundary Segregation and Disordering in High-Entropy Alloys in a 5D Space

  • We combine large-scale atomistic simulations and machine learning to predict the properties of grain boundaries (GBs) in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as functions of four independent compositional degrees of freedom and temperature in a 5D space.
  • GB diagrams can be constructed.
  • A data-driven discovery further reveals new coupled GB segregation and disordering effects in HEAs, uncovering new phenomena beyond the classical GB segregation models.
  • A physics-informed data-driven model is constructed to provide more physical insights and better transferability.
  • Further collaboration within IRG-1 groups will examine the predictions experimentally.
  • The ability to predict GB properties in a 5D space for HEAs represents a new paradigm.
