Cover Story: A novel computational framework connecting processing variables with the effects of non-equilibrium solidification in additively manufactured materials is presented in this work. Integration of a physics-based surrogate laser powder bed fusion process model within a high-throughput Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD)-based Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) framework enables non-equilibrium solidification to be modeled as a function of both composition and processing parameters. Solidification cracking susceptibility is predicted as a function of composition, cooling rate, and energy density for the first time. The modeling framework presented in this work can be used to guide alloy design and process optimization for additive manufacturing. View this paper
