A multi-objective synergistic design for low modulus and high yield strength in complex concentrated alloys
摘要
Low Young’s modulus and high yield strength are concurrently needed to meet the performance requirements of metallic implant materials. The single-objective performance-oriented alloy design strategies face challenges in effectively addressing the inherent conflict between Young’s modulus and yield strength. In this study, we developed a machine learning model for multi-objective synergistic optimization of modulus and yield strength, successfully enabling simultaneous prediction of Young’s modulus and yield strength in the Ti-Zr-Hf-Nb-Ta-Mo-Sn alloy system. The critical features influencing the modulus and strength of the alloys were systematically analyzed and identified. Moreover, a series of complex concentrated alloy (CCAs) with low Young’s modulus and high yield strength were successfully prepared based on this model. The newly developed alloys exhibited a stable single-phase BCC (body-centered-cubic) structure with Young’s modulus in the range of 40–50 GPa, yield strength of 600–915 MPa, and elastic admissible strain of approximately 1.5%. The multi-objective machine learning model developed in this study can synergistically optimize low Young’s modulus and high yield strength in complex alloys, providing a novel approach for the design of advanced biomedical alloys.
