Metallic materials have enabled technological progress over thousands of years. The
accelerated demand for structural (that is, load-bearing) alloys in key sectors such as …

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

Gradient grained metals whose microstructure is characterized by a spatially graded grain
size distribution show a better strength-ductility combination than their homogeneous …

This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of the microstructure–
property relations of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute a class …

We propose a deep neural network (DNN) as a fast surrogate model for local stress
calculations in inhomogeneous non-linear materials. We show that the DNN predicts the …

The underlying cause of mechanical anisotropy in additively manufactured (AM) parts is not
yet fully understood and has been attributed to several different factors like microstructural …

Single crystal Ni-based superalloys have long been an essential material for gas turbines in
aero engines and power plants due to their outstanding high temperature creep, fatigue and …

The chemical space for designing materials is practically infinite. This makes disruptive
progress by traditional physics-based modeling alone challenging. Yet, training data for …

Metal additive manufacturing has seen extensive research and rapidly growing applications
for its high precision, efficiency, flexibility, etc. However, the appealing advantages are still …

Regions with sharp local textures, ie, macrozones, are common microstructural
inhomogeneities in titanium (Ti) alloys that significantly reduce the fatigue resistance of Ti …
