Abstract
To improve the engineering application of powder metallurgy Cu–12Al alloys in bearing workpieces, a machine learning (ML) procedure was proposed. The experimental feedback data were used to improve the ML extrapolation. Binary and ternary alloys data were used to build the ML model to predict quaternary alloys. A multi-objective express index was used to assess the comprehensiveness of the searched alloys. The experimental result of predicted alloy updates training data to search next alloy. Cu–13Al–5Fe–5Ni alloy was found to have higher tensile strength (381.6 MPa) and hardness (140.1 HB) than those of traditional Cu–12Al alloy. The microstructure indicated that the designed alloy has three precipitation phases to strengthen matrix. Further, the designed alloy has the balance between tensile strength and hardness. This work is of much practical significance in reducing trial-and-error tests to improve design efficiency for material design.
