Grain boundaries (GBs) form one class of defects that directly influence materials properties, such as deformability and strength. At the same time, alloying can introduce GB phase transformations and can therewith alter mechanical performance. In this work, we will discuss the concept of GB phase diagrams for several examples. The focus will be on the defect phases of a Σ7 (12¯30) [0001] 21.78◦ symmetric tilt GB in hcp Mg. Ab-initio simulations as a function of stress and temperature (using quasi-harmonic approximation) are performed, and different types of phase transformations are revealed. To this end, the influence of the chemical degree of freedom on the defect phases is studied for the example of Ga addition, using an efficient screening approach that combines empirical potentials and accurate ab-initio calculations. By exploiting the concept of defect phase diagrams, a phase transformation from the T to the A structural type and as well as a systematic transition of the segregation site preference is revealed. The results qualitatively agree well with experimental observations from scanning transition electron microscopy. The underlying physical mechanisms have an impact on grain-boundary engineering in metallic alloys.

While experimental calorimetry is a powerful technique, a prediction of materials behavior solely on the computer, i.e. complementary to experimental investigations, has its own advantages. It allows one to resolve uncertainties in experimental data, to develop physical thermodynamic models and to determine free energies of phases that are not stable in reality. For this purpose, density functional theory (DFT), which does not require any experimental or empirical fit parameters, is the method of choice. Its advantage is to take the quantum-mechanical solution for the electronic wave functions as a starting point, when determining the chemical bonding of atoms. In the first part of the talk, I will speak about enthalpies of formation resulting from this approach, the underlying approximations, the achievable accuracies, as well as the typical incorporation into Calphad assessments. We note, however, that a disadvantage of DFT is the restriction of the method to T = 0 K in their original formulation. Phase stabilities of real materials, on the other hand, are often dominated by processes that are due to finite temperatures. To include temperature effects in DFT, a significant method development was necessary in the last decade. In the second part of this talk, I will therefore provide the basic concepts for the calculation of vibrational, electronic, and magnetic entropy contributions. I will also highlight some recent methodological achievements in this field and show how these methods opened new routes in understanding and characterizing materials. At the end a few examples of ab initio based phase diagrams will be discussed. The focus will be on phase stabilities and microstructure formation in Ni-based materials. The advantages of combining theoretical, experimental and Calphad concepts will be particularly emphasized.

On the other hand, recent progress in experimental atomic-scale characterization techniques allows one to study the local chemical composition at individual defects such as interfaces, grain boundaries, dislocations and surfaces. They show that changes in the alloy composition can drive not only transitions in the bulk phases present in a material, but also in the concentration and type of defects they contain. Defect phase diagrams, using chemical potentials as thermodynamics variables, provide a natural route to study these chemically driven defects. Our results show, however, that the direct application of thermodynamic approaches can fail to reproduce the experimentally observed defect formation. Therefore, we extend the concept to metastable defect phase diagrams to account for kinetic limitations that prevent the system from reaching equilibrium. We use ab initio calculations based on density functional theory to quantify the extension of regions where defect formation is expected. We successfully applied this concept to explain the formation of large concentrations of planar defects in supersaturated Fe2Nb Laves phases. In addition, we identify in a joint study with experiments conditions and structures in Mg-Al-Ca alloys for defect phase occurrence. The concept offers new avenues for designing materials with tailored defect structures.

We have developed a multi-scale model for the hydrogen redistribution during hydrogen charging and tensile loading within martensitic/austenitic microstructure. Ab initio simulations have been used to resolve the complex energy profile of hydrogen in the martensite/austenite interface. Representative microstructures with different amounts of RA have been converted form experimental SEM-EBSD measurements. Simulations with the finite element method (FEM) have been used to analyse H concentration profiles within the microstructure. The simulations confirm an accumulation of H within the austenitic phase during charging, which undergoes a phase transformation under applied mechanical load during tensile testing and releases accumulated H into the martensite matrix. As a result, there is a pronounced H segregation to the microstructure regions subjected to high hydrostatic tensile stresses and plastic strains, which has a strong impact on the embrittlement behaviour.

The results indicate that at low hydrogen chemical potentials the stability of the fcc phase, which can be representative of retained austenite (RA) in steels, is slightly enhanced by the presence of H atoms. In contrast, at high hydrogen chemical potentials the bcc phase is stabilized by H. Moreover, since the excess volume of the hydrogen-rich bcc phase is significantly larger than that of the fcc phase, the presence of a stress field can change the relative stability of these phases in the coexistence regions of the phase diagram. This feature is particularly important for cyclic loading conditions: during loading cycles forward and reverse phase transformations occur and the H released by these transformations can damage the material.

Normally creating workflows that connect data in multiple scales and various methods is a cumbersome task. Pyiron, an integrated development environment (IDE) for material science, contains modules for the atomistic as well as continuum scale that make a seamless connection possible. To this end, it provides a high-level coherent language in a unified workflow platform to study materials, for example, with LAMMPS simulations in the same framework as crystal plasticity codes such as DAMASK. The latter is integrated such that all required input files can be generated, the analysis can be executed and the routines of the DAMASK post-processing library can be employed. One example of a multi-scale workflow is the simulation of a multi-stage cold rolling process using pyiron. As with every DAMASK simulation, pre-processing includes the creation of the representative volume element and the material definition. It contains elastic properties that are obtained from LAMMPS calculations. To simulate the actual rolling process, the rolling subclass was implemented in the pyiron-job class. Since the total height decrease in technical rolling processes can be very large, the implementation provides for optional regridding between rolling passes. This is also required for the coupling with OpenPhase for simulating recrystallization using pyiron. To ensure interoperability between evaluation and simulation tools, work was done on a semantic representation of pyiron workflows.

T1 - Interfacial segregation of carbon atoms: the competition between grain boundaries and phase boundaries N2 - The microstructure of a two-phase medium manganese steel is decorated by interfaces whose character is defined by crystallography and the misorientation between adjacent grains, which in turn influences elemental segregation and shapes the resulting decorations. This study investigates how adjacent grain and phase boundaries impact a boundary’s segregation behavior, with a focus on the competition for carbon (C) enrichment in a laminated ferrite (α)- austenite (γ) microstructure subjected to a series of heat treatments. It was found that semicoherent α-γ Kurdjumov-Sachs (KS) phase boundaries show less carbon segregation than general γ grain boundaries. Furthermore, when a γ grain boundary is present at a junction with the phase boundaries, it acts as an extracting agent for C. DFT calculations support these observations, demonstrating that carbon segregation is energetically more favorable at the γ grain boundary compared to the α/γ phase boundary, due to the more negative segregation energy at the former.

Atomic-scale investigations using high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy identified particles that form prominent coherent (111) twin-type interfaces along their longer facets and semi-coherent twin interfaces on their shorter facets. Ab-initio calculations showed that a coherent Al/Al3Sc twin-like phase boundary corresponds to a local energy minimum. A model is proposed explaining the formation of the twin orientation relationship of an Al3Sc nanoparticle with the Al host matrix.

For computational efficiency, they are however often restriction to T=0K calculations, while many technologically relevant materials properties and thermodynamic stabilities change when going from low to high temperatures. On the other hand, the constantly increasing performance of digital tools for simulation and data-driven science enables more targeted material development including these kinds of finite-temperature effects. A flexible infrastructure, including data management and workflow solutions is required to make this symbiosis user-friendly efficient. Within this presentation, examples from ab initio thermodynamics for the design of phase stabilities in hard-magnetic alloys and defect-phases in advanced high-strength steels will be demonstrated. We will discuss physical concepts with a focus at the impact of magnetic excitations. At the same time, the examples will be used to derive requirements and present solutions for a digital infrastructure. An outlook will be given to current strategies with the NDFI initiative NFDI-MatWerk.

Materials data are generated, transferred, and introduced at each step along the complete life cycle of a component. A reliable materials data space is therefore crucial in the digital transformation of an industrial branch. Therefore, the “Innovation Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), aims to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the standardized digital representation of materials science and materials engineering. With its partners (KIT, Fraunhofer IWM, FIZ, Leibnitz IWT, BAM, MPIE), the PMD is committed to build up a materials science data space. To achieve this the PMD provides a prototypical infrastructure for the digitalization of materials implemented by decentralized data servers, standardized data schemas and digital workflows. Following the FAIR principles, it will promote the semantic interoperability across the frontiers of materials classes. Standards, methods, and tools developed within the platform are deployed and consolidated within the context of currently near 20 BMBF-funded academic and industrial research consortia and made available to the material science community in general. In this context scientific workflows represent a major focus area, represented within the platform by the workflow frameworks pyiron and SimStack. In consequence, the platform is building up a digital library in form of a workflow store along with common standards for the definition and representation of digital workflows. In this presentation we will describe the status of our Platform MaterialDigital with a focus on the workflow activities. The current status and the vision for dissemination of the solutions developed in the PMD within the community are provided.

One such workflow is analyzing the elastoplastic response of metallic alloys, where the elastic properties of the system are dependent on the atomistic composition and structure of the alloy. We use pyiron atomistics to model the dependence of elastic moduli on the atomistic composition of Al-Mg alloys. Benefiting from the integration of DAMASK in the continuum module of pyiron, the model can be used as an input to simulate the elastoplastic response of the alloy under various loadings. In addition, finite element simulations using the FEniCS package are currently integrated into the continuum module and will be demonstrated in the presentation.
