Artificial Intelligence-informed Process-Property-Performance Development of High-Strength High Entropy Alloy Coating Heating Elements
FY 2024-25
Summary
This proposed project aims to advance a scientific collaboration between the University of Alberta and the RWTH Aachen University in Germany to develop ultra-high-strength lightweight high entropy alloy (HEA) coatings as multi-functional heating surfaces for anti-icing and de-icing protection on structures exposed to extreme cold environments. Aachen University has developed and tested ceramic-based coatings for use as heating elements for high-temperature polymer meltspinning. But these coatings alone become unsuitable for use in low-temperature environments where particle impact loading on the surfaces occur. Through this project, we hope to strengthen a new cross-border program and foster mutual exchange of expertise and co-supervision of graduate students and other trainees to develop and apply metal-based coatings as heating elements, in particular high-strength high-entropy alloy coatings, on semi-conducting ceramic base layers, and integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for improved coating properties and performance.
