contents Quantitative analysis of microstructural features on the nanoscale, including precipitates, local chemical orderings (LCOs) or structural defects (e.g. stacking faults) plays a pivotal role in understanding the mechanical and physical responses of engineering materials. Atom probe tomography (APT), known for its exceptional combination of chemical sensitivity and sub-nanometer resolution, primarily identifies microstructures through compositional segregations. However, this fails when there is no significant segregation, as can be the case for LCOs and stacking faults. Here, we introduce a 3D deep learning approach, AtomNet, designed to process APT point cloud data at the single-atom level for nanoscale microstructure extraction, simultaneously considering compositional and structural information. AtomNet is showcased in segmenting L12-type nanoprecipitates from the matrix in an AlLiMg alloy, irrespective of crystallographic orientations, which outperforms previous methods. AtomNet also allows for 3D imaging of L10-type LCOs in an AuCu alloy, a challenging task for conventional analysis due to their small size and subtle compositional differences. Finally, we demonstrate the use of AtomNet for revealing 2D stacking faults in a Co-based superalloy, without any defected training data, expanding the capabilities of APT for automated exploration of hidden microstructures. AtomNet pushes the boundaries of APT analysis, and holds promise in establishing precise quantitative microstructure-property relationships across a diverse range of metallic materials.
