| Abstract Scope |
The Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approach has been developed and demonstrated as a cost-effective and time-efficient strategy for the development of novel materials and advanced manufacturing processes over the past decade. This talk will present examples of new materials design and advanced manufacturing process development through the integration of ICME modeling with experiments, replacing the conventional trial-and-error strategy. It includes two main aspects: 1) the development of ICME models to link the materials’ process-structure-property relationships through CALPHAD-based (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) microstructure modeling, physics-based models, and machine learning approaches; 2) iterative designs that combine ICME-based computer design with lab-scale prototyping. Specific examples will include the development of high-performance conductive alloys for energy applications, ceramic-metal composite for extreme environment applications, and innovations in advanced manufacturing. |
