The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to the University of Michigan under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to develop an artificial intelligence framework called the AI-enabled Microstructure Model Builder (AMMBER). AMMBER will autonomously determine input parameters for phase-field models based on a variety of data sources to establish constraints on model parameters. It will leverage automated data pipelines to collect, curate, and tabulate disparate data from first-principles calculations, experimental micrographs, natural language text, thermodynamic databases, and custom user input. Advanced optimization algorithms will iteratively optimize phase-field parameters so the resulting models reproduce known microstructural characteristics as a function of time. This will allow simulation of microstructural evolution in materials under relevant engineering and manufacturing conditions. Demonstration focuses on commercially important nickel-aluminum-based and aluminum-copper-based alloys and high-entropy alloys containing five or more components. AMMBER complements existing National Science Foundation Materials Genome Initiative efforts.
