The microstructure of advanced high-strength steels often shows a sensitive dependence on alloying. For example, adding Cr to improve the corrosion resistance of medium-Mn steels also enhances the precipitation of carbides. The current study focuses on the behavior of H in such complex multicomponent carbides by employing different methodological strategies. We systematically analyze the impact of Cr, Mn, and Fe using density functional theory (DFT) for two prototype precipitate phases, M3C and M23C6, where M represents the metal sublattice. Our results show that the addition of these alloying elements yields strong nonmonotonic chemical trends for the H solubility. We identify magnetovolume effects as the origin for this behavior, which depend on the considered system, the sites occupied by H, and short- vs long-range interactions between H and the alloying elements. We further show that the H solubility is directly correlated with the occupation of its nearest-neighbor shells by Cr and Mn. Based on these insights, DFT data from H containing binary-metal carbides are used to design a ridge regression based model that predicts the solubility of H in the ternary-metal carbides (Fe-Cr-Mn-C).
Suitable material solutions are of key importance in designing and producing components for engineering systems – either for functional or structural applications. 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.
The influence of temperature and stacking fault energy (SFE) on the strain-hardening behavior and critical resolved shear stress for twinning was investigated for three Fe–22/25/28Mn–3Al–3Si wt.% transformation- and twinning-induced plasticity (TRIP/TWIP) steels. The SFEs were calculated by two different methods, density functional theory and statistical thermodynamic modeling. The dislocation structure, observed at low levels of plastic deformation, transitions from “planar” to “wavy” dislocation glide with an increase in temperature, Mn content, and/or SFE. The change in dislocation glide mechanisms from planar to wavy reduces the strain hardening rate, in part due to fewer planar obstacles and greater cross slip activity. In addition, the alloys exhibit a large decrease in strength and ductility with increasing temperature from 25 to 200 °C, attributed to a substantial reduction in the thermally activated component of the flow stress, predominate suppression of TRIP and TWIP, and a significant increase in the critical resolved shear stress for mechanical twinning. Interestingly, the increase in SFE with temperature had a rather minor influence on the critical resolved shear stress for mechanical twinning, and other temperature dependent factors which likely play a more dominant role are discussed.
Tailoring negative pressure by crystal defects: Microcrack induced hydride formation in Al alloys
(2023)
Climate change motivates the search for non-carbon-emitting energy generation and storage solutions. Metal hydrides show promising characteristics for this purpose. They can be further stabilized by tailoring the negative pressure of microstructural and structural defects. Using systematic ab initio and atomistic simulations, we demonstrate that an enhancement in the formation of hydrides at the negatively pressurized tip region of the microcrack is feasible by increasing the mechanical tensile load on the specimen. The theoretical predictions have been used to reassess and interpret atom probe tomography experiments for a high-strength 7XXX-aluminium alloy that show a substantial enhancement of hydrogen concentration at structural defects near a stress-corrosion crack tip. These results contain important implications for enhancing the capability of metals as H-storage materials.
Suitable material solutions are of key importance in designing and producing components for engineering systems – either for functional or structural applications. 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, both in academia and industry.
Therefore, the consortium NFDI MatWerk aims to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the standardized digital representation of materials science and engineering (MatWerk). The goal is to seamlessly integrate decentralized data and metadata, experimental and computational workflows, and a materials ontology to maximize interoperability and reproducibility of materials data processing. To this end, data use profiles of participant projects from different sub-disciplines are analyzed to identify the most relevant scientific scenarios within MatWerk.
Similarly, the Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD) is committed to provide a prototypical infrastructure for the digitalization of materials in an industrial context implemented by decentralized data servers, semantic data schemas and digital workflows. The standards, methods, and tools developed within the PMD are deployed and consolidated within the context of currently more than 20 BMBF-funded academic and industrial research consortia. Scientific workflow environments represent a major focus area, including efforts to improve the definition and representation of digital workflows, as well as their distribution in form of a workflow store.
In this presentation we will describe the overarching visions behind these initiatives, their status, and progress of dissemination with a focus on the workflow activities. Following the philosophy of both consortia, specific examples will be used to demonstrate innovative and pragmatic solutions.

La(FexSi1−x)13 and derived quaternary compounds are well-known for their giant, tunable, magneto- and barocaloric responses around a first-order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition near room temperature with low hysteresis. Remarkably, such a transition shows a large spontaneous volume change together with itinerant electron metamagnetic features. While magnetovolume effects are well-established mechanisms driving first-order transitions, purely electronic sources have a long, subtle history and remain poorly understood. Here we apply a disordered local moment picture to quantify electronic and magnetoelastic effects at finite temperature in La(FexSi1−x)13 from first-principles. We obtain results in very good agreement with experiment and demonstrate that the magnetoelastic coupling, rather than purely electronic mechanisms, drives the first-order character and causes at the same time a huge electronic entropy
contribution to the caloric response.
Tungsten-tungsten carbide (W/W2C) composites are considered as possible structural materials for future nuclear fusion reactors. Here, we report on the effect of helium (He) implantation on microstructure evolution of polycrystalline W/W2C composite consolidated by field-assisted sintering technique (FAST), homogenously implanted at room temperature with 1 MeV 4He+ ions at the fluence of 8 × 1016 ions cm−2 and annealed at 1873 K for 20 minutes. Samples were analysed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy to study the presence and size of He bubbles. Monomodal He bubbles in W (30-80 nm) are limited to point defects and grain boundaries, with a considerable void denuded zone (150 nm). Bubbles do not form in W2C, but at the W|W2C interface and are considerably larger (200-400 nm). The experimental observations on He behaviour and migration in W and W2C were assessed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, suggesting He migration and accumulation in the composite are determined by the effective He-He binding in clusters, which will give rise to decohesion. In the presence of He clusters, the decohesion of bulk W into free surfaces is energetically highly favourable but not sufficient in the W2C; hence bubbles are only observed in W grains and interfaces and not within bulk W2C.
In our current view, reference datasets in the MSE domain represent specific material properties, e.g., structural, mechanical, … characteristics. A reference dataset must fulfill high-quality standards, not only in precision of measurement but also in a comprehensive documentation of material, processing, and testing history (metadata). This Infrastructure Use Case (IUC) aims to develop a framework for generating reference material datasets using creep data of a single crystal Ni-based superalloy as a best practice example. In a community-driven process, we aim to encourage the discussion and establish a framework for the creation and distribution of reference material datasets. In this poster presentation, we highlight our current vision and activities and intend to stimulate the discussion about the topic reference datasets and future collaborations and work.
Material science problems have intrinsically multiscale and multiphysics characters, and require us to employ a combination of methods on different time and length scales to resolve critical features. 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 density functional theory (DFT) simulations in the same framework as with the finite element method (FEM). In this work, in addition to the introduction of different features in pyiron and its continuum module, a couple of exemplary workflows are demonstrated, bridging the scales in pyiron. 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.
