# Heuristics In The Alloy Designing

## Abstract

A systematic approach to the alloy designing problem, which is one of the typical ill-structured problems considered to be solvable only by inspirations of a genius metallurgist, is discussed with respect to the heuristic approach. The procedure to design an alloy of required properties consists of two parts;searching of a starting point(a root) and constructing a tree in order to improve the properties of the material corresponding to . the root by applying tactics. A CAD system having a data base for metallurgy is used in order to establish a method to perform this procedure.
