Assessing Microstructure Phase Maps (AMASE)

Phase diagrams are “treasure maps” in materials innovation. However, they traditionally assume defect-free materials, whereas real-world microstructures are often dominated by defects––such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries, dislocations, and stacking faults––that have their own phase behaviours and distinct rules for evolving, interacting and co-existing. This discrepancy significantly ties materials innovation to slow, trial-and-error approaches. Project AMASE is envisioned to deliver “roadmaps” that combine novel concepts of Multi-Defect Phase Diagrams and Microstructure Phase Maps for accurate microstructure predictions. AMASE will combine atomistic simulations, machine learning,…
