Symposium 4th World Congress on High Entropy Alloys (HEA 2026)
Presentation Title Accelerating HEAs Development Through the Alloy Optimization Software

On-Site Speaker (Planned) Nicholas Ury
Abstract Scope The Alloy Optimization Software (TAOS) is a user-friendly tool that enables rapid alloy design by integrating Calphad-based property models with advanced black-box optimization techniques. TAOS interfaces with established thermodynamic software packages such as PyCalphad and Thermo-Calc, enabling the use of private, unencrypted, or commercial thermodynamic databases for the exploration of multi-component composition spaces. The utilization of black-box optimization enables TAOS to efficiently explore composition space while satisfying complex constraints, including phase stability, thermophysical properties, and mechanical properties. A recent key development in this software is the support of user-defined models and properties, allowing for the integration of property predictions beyond existing implemented Calphad-type properties. Additionally, TAOS has added support for bi-objective optimization and sensitivity analysis, providing users with a deeper understanding of relationships between optimal compositions and targeted properties. Case studies of using TAOS to design refractory and two-phase eutectic high entropy alloys will be presented.
