Abstract Scope |
Compositionally graded alloys are a special class of functionally graded materials that utilize spatial variations in alloy composition to satisfy competing property requirements. As the demands placed upon high-performance alloys increase, single material components will become less relevant, as material properties are often competing with one another. Instead, multi-material components, such as compositionally graded alloys, can more effectively meet competing requirements by placing satisfactory materials where they are needed. One significant barrier to the implementation of compositionally graded alloys is the formation of deleterious phases in gradient compositions, seen throughout experimental literature. In light of this challenge, the authors previously applied robotic path planning with CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) data to successfully design gradient alloy compositions that avoid deleterious phases. In this work, the authors present an open-source tool based on their methodology. With this computational tool, researchers can automatically design compositionally graded alloys free of deleterious phases. |
