摘要

Designing compositions to improve yield strength for Ni-based superalloys is a vital operation on aeroengines to improve thrust-weight ratio. A data-driven approach by combining machine learning and theory-physical models is proposed to design high-strength Ni-based superalloys. Using machine learning to select 12 critical features to build predicting model, the design space having 372,763 alloys then is determined. The theory-physical models on matrix stability, precipitate stability and the solvus temperature of γ′ are used to select microstructure. The Gaussian process model is built to predict yield strength, determining Ni-15Co-15Cr-4Mo-4Al-3Ti as designed alloy. Experimental tests verify the designed alloy having the features of microstructure stability, the 1142 °C solvus temperature of γ′, and the yield strength of 657 MPa at 850 °C. To still further improve yield strength, the strengthening mechanisms on precipitate shearing and coherency strain are discussed in detail. A feasible measure is that scales down the particle diameter of secondary γ′ through increasing the cooling rate of solution treatment. The data-driven superalloy-design way can be used as a typical case of big data technology accelerating alloy design. This work taking data-driven concept has a vital significance on avoiding excessive trial-and-error waste to save costs.
