| Abstract Scope |
I will present several examples in which materials informatics can be used to elucidate and quantify complex correlations linking structure, properties and processing of materials. In the first example, I consider the case of high-entropy (HE) (or multi-principal element) alloys, typically comprising five or more elements. In the second example, I examine the use of a canonical correlation analysis on the ubiquitous phenomenon of grain abnormality in a microstructure, with the resulting bimodal structure often having a deleterious impact on the thermomechanical properties of a system. Finally, I will outline the use of detrended correlation analyses to interpret time series data associated with processing. |
