Technology Overview
This technology introduces a predictive model for estimating the yield strength of aluminum alloys by analyzing their composition. It integrates three primary mechanisms of strengthening: precipitation, solid solution, and grain boundary, utilizing CALPHAD software for simulation. This innovation allows for the exploration of new alloy compositions, extending the potential for developing materials with optimized properties.
Key Advantages
- Enables the prediction of strength for a wide range of aluminum alloy series (1xxx to 7xxx)
- Modular design accommodates future phases and data integration
- Utilizes CALPHAD software for accurate simulation of aging and equilibrium conditions
- Facilitates the development of alloys with compositions outside traditional ranges
Problems Addressed
- Overcomes limitations in predicting alloy strength based solely on composition
- Reduces the trial-and-error approach in alloy development, saving time and resources
- Expands the compositional range for alloy development beyond conventional limits
Market Applications
- Alloy development and optimization for aerospace, automotive, and construction industries
- Material selection and design for high-strength applications
- Software tools for materials science research and education
- Consulting services for aluminum manufacturers and product developers
