Using machine-learning to understand complex microstructural effects on the mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloys
Structural materials properties are highly dependent on their microstructure. Their microstructure is in turn affected by multiple fabrication and thermo-mechanical treatment parameters, all of which conform a highly-dimensional parametric space with often hidden correlations that are difficult to extract by experimentation alone. This is particularly true for alloys of the dual-phase Ti-6Al-4V family, with their greatly complex and rich microstructures, which combine several intrinsic length scales associated with multiple grain and subgrain structures, grains with different crystal lattices (α and β phases), and complex chemistry. In this paper we use a comprehensive set of machine learning techniques to develop predictive tools relating the yield strength and hardening rate of these alloys to a set of input parameters covering extensive ranges. The data generator is a finite-element crystal plasticity model for polycrystal deformation that takes into account slip anisotropy and employs standard dislocation evolution models for the α and β phases of Ti-based alloys. Our dataset includes over two thousand independent simulations and is used to train the machine learning models, which are then used to establish correlations between microstructural parameters and the alloys’ mechanical response. Our results point to the most influential parameters affecting yield strength and hardening rate, information that can then be used to guide experimental synthesis and characterization efforts to save time and resources.

Variation of the Passive Film on Compositionally Concentrated Dual-Phase Al 0.3 Cr 0.5 Fe 2 Mn 0.25 Mo 0.15 Ni 1.5 Ti 0.3 and Implications for Corrosion
The passive film on a dual-phase Al 0.3 Cr 0.5 Fe 2 Mn 0.25 Mo 0.15 Ni 1.5 Ti 0.3 FCC + Heusler (L2 1 ) compositionally concentrated alloy formed during extended exposure to an applied potential in the passive range in dilute chloride solution was characterized. Each phase, with its own distinct composition of passivating elements, formed unique passive films separated by a heterophase interface. High-resolution, surface sensitive characterization enabled chemical analysis of the passive film formed over individual phases. The film formed over the L2 1 phase had a higher concentration of Al, Ni, and Ti, while the film formed over FCC phase was of similar thickness but contained comparatively higher Cr, Fe, and Mo concentrations, consistent with the differences in bulk microstructure composition. The passive film was continuous across phase boundaries and the distribution of passivating elements (Al, Cr, and Ti) indicated both phases were independently passivated. Spatially resolved analysis of the surface chemistry of the dual-phase CCA revealed that the cation with the highest composition in passive film formed on the FCC phase was Cr (52.4 at. pct) and for the L2 1 phase was Ti (53.1 at. pct) despite the bulk concentration of each element being below 20 at. pct in their respective phases. Al, Cr, and Ti were enriched in both phases within the passive film relative to their respective bulk compositions. In parallel studies, single-phase alloys with compositions representative of the FCC and L2 1 phases were synthesized to evaluate the corrosion behavior of each phase in isolation. The corrosion behavior of the dual-phase alloy showed passivity evidenced by a pitting potential of 0.615 V SCE in 0.01 M NaCl. The pitting potential and other electrochemical parameters suggested a combination of behaviors of both single-phase samples, suggesting that the global corrosion behavior may be represented by a composite theory applied to phases, their area fractions, and interphase length. However, the interphase in the dual-phase CCA was a local corrosion initiation site and may limit localized corrosion protectiveness. The alloy design implications for optimization of second phase structure and morphology are discussed.
