A new study reveals an AI-based technique that can solve this problem. The AI can rapidly check countless possibilities, predict the most promising element combinations, and even suggest the ideal proportions of each element for creating alloys with superior properties.
Using this approach, the study authors produced multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) with exceptional mechanical properties. “This work demonstrates how data-driven frameworks and explainable AI can unlock new possibilities in materials design,” Sanket Deshmukh, one of the study’s authors and a professor at Virginia Tech, said.
