| Abstract Scope |
A materials system chart is a widely used framework in alloy and materials design, organizing materials science knowledge in terms of processing–structure–property relationships. Although useful for visualizing the interconnections between different design elements, it often lacks a structured methodology for managing dependencies among variables in practical design applications. In this work, we apply the Axiomatic Design approach, particularly the Independence Axiom, to reorganize materials system charts, ensuring that processing-structure-property relationships are decoupled and mapped one-to-one with design requirements. Specifically, we demonstrate how large language models can assist in extracting processing–structure–property relationships from scientific literature and generating axiomatic, dependency-free system charts. This approach enhances design efficiency, reduces coupling between parameters, guides the optimization sequences in design processes, and supports the development of robust materials with targeted functionalities. |
