Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) requires the availability of supporting data for modeling across all of the length scales of interest. Establishment of data schema as well as input/output protocols is also important. To address these needs, the Structural Materials Data Demonstration Project, as part of an open federated data infrastructure, has been initiated. The focus of this initial project is on actual demonstration datasets for heat treatable aluminum alloy 6061 and the Al-Mg-Si system. In particular, data for diffusion, phase development, microstructure, and mechanical properties will be included. This presentation will outline the purpose and scope of the project, including the data organization, and discuss challenges in materials data management. One test problem utilizing the demonstration data will model the effects of composition and heat treatment practice on properties of 6061-T6.
