The ULTERA Database

This template repository was developed for contributing to the ULTERA Database carried under the DOE ARPA-E ULTIMATE program that aims to develop a new generation of materials for turbine blades in gas turbines and related applications.

The main scope of this dataset is collecting data on compositionally complex alloys (CCAs), also known as high entropy alloys (HEAs) and multi-principle-element alloys (MPEAs), with extra attention given to (1) high-temperature (refractory) mechanical data, (2) phases present under different processing conditions. Although low-entropy alloys (incl. binaries) are typically not presented to the end-user (or counted in statistics), some are present and used in ML efforts; thus all high-quality alloy data contributions are welcome!

How to Contribute?

Contributing is pretty much restructuring your data into a spreadsheet.

Before you start:

1. Fork the ULTERA-contribute repository, renaming your fork with a unique identifier, i.e., ULTERA-contribute-yourUniqueIdentifier, e.g.: -AMK, -amkrajewski, -adamkrajewski, etc.

2. Enable GitHub Actions for your fork by (1) going to Settings > Actions (General) > Actions permissions, (2) Select Allow all Actions and Reusable Workflows and save, and (3) Scroll down to Workflow permissions, select Read and write permissions, and save.

3. (Optional/Recommended) Enable the Issues page for your fork by (1) going to Settings, (2) scrolling down to Features, and (3) checking the box next to Issues. This will allow others to let you know if they find any problems with your data, or just want to ask questions.

Once your forked repository is ready:

1. Make a copy of ULTERA_Template.xlsx and rename it to something describing what you are uploading to help you remember what is inside, e.g., refractory_bcc_heas.xlsx, CrMoNiBased_DuctilityAndHardness.xlsx, HardnessCollectionHEA.xlsx.

PS: Avoid putting any version number or year in the name, as it will make correcting errors in the datasets much more difficult.

2. Fill out your spreadsheet copy with your datapoints, folowing the quick-guide and examples provided in the template.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have completed adding all of your data to your repository.

4. Once you're done, commit your changes to your repository. The @PhasesResearchLab/ULTERA team will get a notification of your contributions and automatically process the data into the ULTERA database.

For further instructions on the contribution proccess or if you want to contribute without making your data public, please refer to ULTERA_Manual.pdf.

In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to open an issue to get help!
