Abstract

Phase identification is an arduous task during high-throughput processing experiments, which can be exacerbated by the need to reconcile results from multiple measurement techniques to form a holistic understanding of phase dynamics. Here, we demonstrate AutoPhase, a machine learning algorithm, which can identify the presence of the different phases in spectral and diffraction data. The algorithm uses training data to determine the characteristic features of each phase present and then uses these features to evaluate new spectral and diffraction data. AutoPhase was used to identify oxide phase growth during a high-throughput oxidation study of NiAl bond coats that used x-ray diffraction, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The algorithm had a minimum overall accuracy of 88.9% for unprocessed data and 98.4% for postprocessed data. Although the features selected by AutoPhase for phase attribution were distinct from those of topical experts, these results show that AutoPhase can substantially increase the throughput high-throughput data analysis.
