Abstract Scope |
Predicting the mechanical performance of multi-component alloys requires models that integrate metallurgical principles while leveraging data-driven techniques. In this work, we develop and evaluate a suite of regression models, compare the strategies including a classical Hall-Petch model as a baseline, full multivariate ordinary least squares (OLS) with composition, processing and solid solution hardening (SSH) term, and PCA-based regression models using physics-informed alloy descriptors, to predict vickers hardness and yield strength of HEA system and compared them against non-linear benchmarks. All models are evaluated by 5-fold cross-validation of R^2 and MSE.
The best-performing models incorporate physics-inspired features and dimensionality reduction: a PCA on selected-features model, while the high-dimensional physics-derived descriptor model overfits. Our results show that embedding metallurgical insights into regression yields transparent models and also illustrate how interpretable, physics-informed regression can balance model accuracy and statistical soundness, guiding alloy design by highlighting the interplay of microstructure and chemistry. |
