Hardness , or the quantitative value of resistance to permanent or plastic deformation , plays a crucial role in materials design for many applications , such as ceramic coatings and abrasives . Hardness testing is an especially useful method because it is nondestructive and simple to implement and gauge the plastic properties of a material . In this study , I proposed a machine , or statistical , learning approach to predict hardness in naturally occurring ceramic materials , which integrates atomic and electronic features from composition directly across a wide variety of mineral compositions and crystal systems . First , atomic and electronic features , such as van der Waals , covalent radii , and the number of valence electrons , were extracted from composition . The results showed that this proposed method is very promising for predicting Mohs hardness with F1 - scores > 0 . 85 . The dataset in this study included modeling across a larger set of materials and hardness values , which have never been predicted in previous studies . Next , feature importances were used to identify the strongest contributions of these compositional features across multiple regimes of hardness . Finally , the models that were trained on naturally occurring ceramic minerals were applied to synthetic , artificially grown single crystal ceramics .
