背景与挑战

背景概述

晶界化学对金属和合金的性质起着至关重要的作用，然而，用于合金设计和开发的一致性数据集却相对缺乏。随着人工智能和机器学习在材料科学领域的兴起，开放的材料模型和数据集可以克服这些挑战。本研究使用一种通用的原子间势能，计算了FCC和BCC二元合金的Σ5[001](210)晶界的晶界偏析和脆化基因组。这里计算的晶界数据库作为高角度晶界脆化设计工具，涵盖了15种基本金属系统（Ag、Al、Au、Cr、Cu、Fe（BCC和FCC）、Mo、Nb、Ni、Pd、Pt、Rh、Ta、V和W）和每种金属的75种溶质元素。

当前挑战

晶界偏析与晶界脆化密切相关，然而许多合金元素并不脆化，或者根本不偏析。一些溶剂（宿主）和晶界偏析体的组合会导致晶界强化，或者提供其他有益的性质，如热稳定性、机械性能的提高。因此，成功的合金设计需要精细理解晶界偏析和脆化。近年来，在理解偏析问题方面取得了显著进展，展示了控制多晶环境中GBs中所有原子位点的偏析的热力学量的大图集。然而，脆化问题的脆化部分仍然是一个领域，许多合金还没有可用于计算合金设计框架的大量一致数据。最近试图汇总已发表的数据集，说明了在具有各种方法生成数据之间进行交叉比较的挑战。此外，评估GB脆化潜力的方法基于GB薄片方法，这通常需要大量的计算资源。因此，用于计算合金设计框架的GB偏析和脆化数据有限。本研究利用人工智能和机器学习的最新进展，提供了一种大约1,000种二元合金的大规模、自洽的GB脆化潜力分析。我们利用开放材料数据集和EquiformerV2（eqV2）模型，以比密度泛函理论（DFT）低得多的成本实现了与DFT的非常准确的结果，并在Matbench Discovery上进行了基准测试。具体来说，我们应用了预训练有小型模型（31M参数）的Open Materials数据集，并使用MPtrj和Alexandria数据集进行了微调（eqV2_31M_omat_mp_salex），以计算偏析倾向和脆化潜力。我们考虑了15种基本金属：Ag、Al、Au、Cr、Cu、Fe（BCC和FCC）、Mo、Nb、Ni、Pd、Pt、Rh、Ta、V和W，每种金属与75种溶质元素结合。我们使用GB_code构建了一个Σ5[001](210) GB薄片模型，FCC金属使用2×2×2重复超胞，BCC金属使用3×2×2重复超胞。GB的弛豫使用Fast Inertial Relaxation Engine（FIRE）最小化算法进行，力容忍度为0.01 eV/Å。本研究中的分析使用来自参考文献44-55的Python软件包进行。我们提供了晶格常数、超胞大小、系统大小及其相应的GB能量的值，并与文献中报道的GB能量进行了比较。我们还展示了BCC Fe和FCC Al晶界的示例结构，其中使用了所有4个位点进行偏析计算。这里计算的GB能量与DFT数据集合理匹配，见表I。
