Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) provides new opportunities to produce metallic components. We can now print complex shape components with micron size resolution. Tailoring the microstructure and compositions are also potentially feasible at voxel size resolution. If the properties of these components are meeting and exceeding industry and application requirements and accelerate the certification pace and reduce time and cost of certification, we can reliably use AM in the wide range of critical applications in aerospace, aviation, defense and energy sectors. Beyond this, if rapid solidification and the possibility of gradient design are exploited, unprecedented performance may emerge. Designing alloys for AM is challenging as we now must design alloys to have both good processability (printability) as well as high and reliable performance. In this symposium, we aim to focus on experimental and numerical or coupled solutions to address the challenges in alloy design for AM and certification of properties.
The following topics are included in this symposium:
-Designing alloys to achieve reliable properties as wrought alloys
-Designing alloys exploiting unique opportunities in AM including metastable phase, refined microstructure features, and gradient design to achieve unprecedented performances
-Development of validated digital twin for the microstructure and processing design of alloys
-Uncertainty quantification in the design of processing and microstructure of alloys
-Integration of advanced machine learning algorithms, from conventional to LLMs to enhance design of alloys
-Foundation LLM models for the design of alloys in AM
-Inverse design of processing or microstructure of AM alloys for various target performance
-Sustainable design of AM alloys |
