Genomic materials design: CALculation of PHAse Dynamics

The CALPHAD system of fundamental phase-level databases, now known as the Materials Genome, has enabled a mature technology computational materials design and qualification that already met acceleration goals national Genome Initiative. As first commercialized by QuesTek Innovations, methodology combines efficient genomic-level parametric new material composition process specifications with multidisciplinary simulation-based forecasting manufacturing variation, integrating uncertainty management. Recent projects demonstrated under multi-institutional CHiMaD Design Center notably include novel alloys designed specifically for additive manufacturing. With proven success CALPHAD-based technology, current university research emphasizes methodologies affordable accelerated expansion more accurate databases. Rapid adoption these capabilities US apex corporations compressed development cycle to 2 years, enabling "materials concurrency" integrated into level concurrent engineering supporting an unprecedented innovation.
