| contents | New refractory alloys are being continuously designed and characterised for applications requiring good high-temperature mechanical properties and stability. Computational design from atomistic simulations is limited by interatomic potentials missing key elements, being too inaccurate, or computationally too slow for large-scale simulations. Here we present development of a refractory alloy database and two computationally efficient and general-purpose machine-learned potentials (tabGAP and NEP). We also design a cross-sampling strategy for effective sampling of training data using predictions from two potentials with completely different underlying architecture. The potentials support arbitrary alloy compositions of elements in groups four to six in the periodic table (Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W). The database is diverse yet multitargeted to enable simulations of refractory metals and alloys across different pure-metal, solid-solution, intermetallic, and glassy phases. We demonstrate the usefulness of the potentials by reproducing known pressure-, temperature-, and solute-induced phase transitions, grain boundary segregation, and simulations of radiation damage in the WTaCrVHf metallic glass. |
