A major roadblock to computational design of high-entropy alloys has been removed, according to scientists at Iowa State University and Lehigh University. Engineers from the Ames Lab and Lehigh University s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics have developed a process that reduces search time used for predictive design 13,000-fold.
According to Ganesh Balasubramanian, an associate professor at Lehigh, the goal of the team s research was to accelerate the computational modeling of complex alloys. The tools available for creating random distribution of atoms in materials simulation models, he says, have been used for many, many years now and are limited in their reach for fast
