Abstract Scope |
Tailoring high-performance magnesium alloys requires effective inverse design optimization of microstructure and texture. This work introduces a practical framework integrating experimental data, physics-based simulation, and generative AI. Grounded with an experimental dataset of 115 extruded Mg alloys, we use data multiplication techniques to generate a large corpus of synthetic RVEs, which are then labeled with properties using an experimentally validated Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Method model. Generative models (Autoregressive/Diffusion) learn a compressed latent representation of these RVEs. A Gaussian Process surrogate maps this latent space to properties, guiding a Bayesian Optimization loop. In each iteration, the optimizer proposes promising latent points, the generative model reconstructs the RVE, and CPFEM provides physics-based validation in an active-learning cycle. By seamlessly combining the speed of generative AI, the rigor of physics-based validation, and the grounding of experimental data, this hybrid framework offers a practical path for accelerated materials inverse design. |
