Corrosion has a wide impact on society, causing catastrophic damage to structurally engineered components. An emerging class of corrosion-resistant materials are high-entropy alloys. However, high-entropy alloys live in high-dimensional composition and configuration space, making materials designs via experimental trial-and-error or brute-force ab initio calculations almost impossible. Here we develop a physics-informed machine-learning framework to identify corrosion-resistant high-entropy alloys. Three metrics are used to evaluate the corrosion resistance, including single-phase formability, surface energy and Pilling-Bedworth ratios. We used random forest models to predict the single-phase formability, trained on an experimental dataset. Machine learning inter-atomic potentials were employed to calculate surface energies and Pilling-Bedworth ratios, which are trained on first-principles data fast sampled using embedded atom models. A combination of random forest models and high-fidelity machine learning potentials represents the first of its kind to relate chemical compositions to corrosion resistance of high-entropy alloys, paving the way for automatic design of materials with superior corrosion protection. This framework was demonstrated on AlCrFeCoNi high-entropy alloys and we identified composition regions with high corrosion resistance. Machine learning predicted lattice constants and surface energies are consistent with values by first-principles calculations. The predicted single-phase formability and corrosion-resistant compositions of AlCrFeCoNi agree well with experiments. This framework is general in its application and applicable to other materials, enabling high-throughput screening of material candidates and potentially reducing the turnaround time for integrated computational materials engineering. |
