Goal​:  

Develop  a  machine  learning  model  to  predict  low  melting  point  metallic  coatings  for  steel  with 
comparable performance to industry standard.

Seetharaman group = ​Nicholas Rollman, Rohit Bardapurkar, Sridhar ​Seetharaman 
Citrine = Malcolm Davidson, Chris Borg 
 
Methodology​: 
1. Literature review on current coatings.  
2. Define design space and output target. 
3. Collect data on output target. 
4. Develop model on Citrination to predict target output within the design space. 
 
 
TODO: 
1. @Nick, can you add a link to the spreadsheet and some descriptions of the articles below? We 
should  look  to  fill  in  the  chemistries/compounds  tested,  the  properties  tested,  and  the 
methods / type of tests. 
2. @Rohit,  Could  you  also  go  through  the  articles  and  provide  some  expert  opinion  on  which 
properties and testing methods are important? 
3. @Malcolm @Chris, Find more articles.
