Topic: alloy discovery

Raymundo Arróyave discusses alloy discovery guided by both metallurgical knowledge and Bayesian optimization. The approach combines physical models, high-throughput CALPHAD calculations, microstructural information and experimental feedback to search chemical and processing spaces that are difficult to explore through data alone. Examples involving high-entropy and refractory alloys address multiple objectives and constraints, including feasibility, correlated properties, uncertainty and microstructural sensitivity. The seminar then connects these decision methods to the Autonomous Robotic Me
