Accelerated Materials Design by ICME Approach

8401 Greenway Blvd, Middleton, WI, USA
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and Materials
Genome Initiative (MGI) have recently been highlighted as
methodologies that can unlock great potential for significant benefits in
cost-effective materials and process design. Optimization of alloy
chemistry and processing conditions, which is the common practice of
materials scientists/engineers working on materials design and
improvement, is no longer based on trial-and-error approaches. With
the recent advancement of computer science and modern information
technology, alloy design process can be greatly accelerated with the aid
of computational tools.
While the recent initiative of ICME and MGI has motivated the use and
development of modeling tools, CompuTherm has been developing
computational tools using the CALPHAD approach since 1996. In this
presentation, Dr. Fan Zhang will give a brief introduction on the
modeling tools developed at CompuTherm. She will then use examples
to demonstrate the successful applications of these modeling tools in
ICME and MGI.

Dr. Fan Zhang received her bachelor degree and master degree from the Department of Physical
Chemistry in Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China in 1987 and 1990,
respectively. She received her Ph.D degree from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering,
University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA in 1997. Dr. Zhang has been working in the field of computational
thermodynamics using the CALPHAD method for more than 20 years. She is currently the president of
CompuTherm-located in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. CompuTherm, a spin-off company from University of
Wisconsin-Madison, was established in 1996 and is known for its pioneer work in computational
materials science in the framework of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME).
CompuTherm has developed computational tools including PandatTM software and thermodynamic
databases for a variety of alloy systems. These computational tools allow materials scientists to
understand and predict materials’ properties given alloy chemistry and processing conditions, therefore
minimizing experimental work, shortening materials development cycle and reducing cost. These
computational tools are currently being used by hundreds of universities, research institutes, and
industrial companies worldwide.
张帆博士上世纪 80 年代就读于北京科技大学冶金物理化学系，分别于 87 年，90 年获得
学士及硕士学位。张博士于 93 年到美国威斯康辛-麦迪逊大学留学，并于 97 年获得材料
工程系的博士学位。二十多年来，张博士一直在计算热力学领域用 CALPHAD 方法从事相
图计算。她目前是美国 CompuTherm 公司的总裁。CompuTherm 是 96 年从威斯康辛-麦迪
逊大学分离出来的软件公司。集成计算材料工程（ICME）是美国近几年才提出的理念，
但 CompuTherm 公司早在 20 年前就开始了这方面的工作。CompuTherm 公司的产品包括
Pandat 软件及各种合金热力学数据库。这些计算工具可以帮助金属材料领域的学生，学
者，及工程师更好的理解并预测材料性能，进而减少实验工作，缩短材料研发周期，降低
科研成本。目前世界各地有几百家大专院校，科研单位，及公司在用 CompuTherm 的产
品进行科研及加速材料设计开发。
