About this Research Topic
The rapid advancement of manufacturing technologies has opened up new horizons for the design and production of advanced materials with tailored structural and functional properties. The integration of advanced manufacturing routes with precise post-processing approaches has paved the way for the realization of materials with enhanced performance characteristics. This Research Topic aims to explore the interplay between advanced manufacturing routes and post-processing approaches in the rational design of structural and functional materials.
This Research Topic seeks to bring together researchers, scientists, and practitioners from academia and industry to present cutting-edge research and developments in the field of rational alloy design. Contributions are invited to cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
• Advanced manufacturing techniques for alloy synthesis, such as additive manufacturing (AM), powder metallurgy, and severe plastic deformation.
• Computational modeling and simulation methods for predicting the microstructure and properties of alloys.
• Experimental characterization techniques to elucidate the structure-property relationships in advanced alloys.
• Tailoring alloy compositions for specific structural and functional applications, including but not limited to aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and energy sectors.
• Novel post-processing approaches, such as heat treatment, surface modification, and additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing, to enhance the performance of alloys.
• Multiscale and Multiphysics modeling approaches to understand the complex interactions between processing parameters, microstructure evolution, and mechanical/functional properties.
The Research Topic will focus on the following key themes:
1. Design principles for alloy compositions tailored towards specific performance requirements.
2. Integration of advanced manufacturing routes with post-processing techniques for enhanced material properties.
3. Advances in computational modeling and experimental characterization techniques for rational alloy design.
4. Case studies and applications demonstrating the efficacy of rational alloy design in real-world scenarios.
