Convoluted filtering for process cycle modeling

Abstract

Principles of materials science and engineering, physics, mathematics, and information science are used to extract knowledge and insights from the process‐structure–property‐performance relationships hidden in materials data. The process‐structure modeling can be accelerated without loss of interpretability, with artificial intelligence tools that mimic the salient features of the process and process‐structure relations. In this work, a novel convoluted model‐filtering technique was exploited to build and successfully train the Convoluted Filter (CoFi) artifacts for Fe‐based alloy heat treatment cycles. The artifacts were pre‐trained to filter out deep models that change the surrogate microstructure state after the heat treatment at ambient conditions. Direct representation of the thermal cycle features within knowledge Graph facilitated development of meaningful data models for microstructure evolution, which reduce overfitting to limited datasets.
