Coupling physics in machine learning to investigate the solution behavior of binary Mg alloys

The solution behavior of a second element in the primary phase (α(Mg)) is important in the design of high-performance alloys. In this work, three sets of features have been collected: a) interaction features of solutes and Mg obtained from first-principles calculation, b) intrinsic physical properti...

description The solution behavior of a second element in the primary phase (α(Mg)) is important in the design of high-performance alloys. In this work, three sets of features have been collected: a) interaction features of solutes and Mg obtained from first-principles calculation, b) intrinsic physical properties of the pure elements and c) structural features. Based on the maximum solid solubility values, the solution behavior of elements in α(Mg) are classified into four types, e.g., miscible, soluble, sparingly-soluble and slightly-soluble. The machine learning approach, including random forest and decision tree algorithm methods, is performed and it has been found that four features, e.g., formation energy, electronegativity, non-bonded atomic radius, and work function, can together determine the classification of the solution behavior of an element in α(Mg). The mathematical correlations, as well as the physical relationships among the selected features have been analyzed. This model can also be applied to other systems following minor modifications of the defined features, if required.
