In materials physics the thermodynamic descriptions of crystalline phases have enabled materials scientists and engineers to tailor and process alloys while obtaining the desired internal structure at the microscale. At the same time, improving control over crystal defects which govern the material’s strength, formability and corrosion resistance, has led to the development of new alloying and processing concepts. The vision of this CRC1394 is to bridge the gap by combining both approaches into a novel conceptual framework. This PP therefore represents a fundamental direction in materials science. The generated research data and insights use data management not as a chore but as a key enabler of the science. Three elements are at its core, and the contributions are tailored to enable these ambitious goals:
(1) enabling a coherent and concurrent analysis of atomic scale data on crystal defects from experiments and simulations,
(2) formulation of a comprehensive thermodynamic for defect phases (metastable atomically confined and ordered crystal defect states), and
(3) explicit connection of the defect phases with physical mechanisms in mechanics and corrosion and resulting material properties.
The overarching objective of this PP is to provide a new Materials Design Toolbox which will be enabled by these key aspects of handling and using data in materials science.
