Physical Property Prediction of High-Temperature Nickel and Iron–Nickel Superalloys Using Direct and Inverse Composition Machine Learning Models

Superalloys are a class of materials renowned for their exceptional ability to retain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Nickel superalloys, with a nickel content ranging from 38% to 76%, and iron–nickel superalloys (15–60% iron, 25–45% nickel) are extensively employed within the aviati...

description Superalloys are a class of materials renowned for their exceptional ability to retain mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Nickel superalloys, with a nickel content ranging from 38% to 76%, and iron–nickel superalloys (15–60% iron, 25–45% nickel) are extensively employed within the aviation industry due to their resilience in harsh operating environments. These components encounter extreme temperatures during operation, significantly impacting their tensile strength and melting point. Furthermore, high-speed rotation and abrasive conditions necessitate materials with superior hardness. Consequently, material modifications are crucial to ensure that gas turbine components meet their required properties. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) offer promising solutions for the design of materials with tailored tensile strength, hardness, and melting point properties. This study investigates the efficacy of direct and inverse machine learning models in predicting crucial material properties and composition, respectively. The model with the most favorable prediction accuracy is identified through the systematic variation of key parameters. The findings show that a fully connected feed-forward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with three hidden layers using ReLU activation functions performs better than the other models. This capability is leveraged to modify the composition of INCONEL-718, successfully achieving significant enhancements in tensile strength (1592 MPa), hardness (152 HRB), and melting point (1665 °C).
