Trustworthy Multimodal Attention Framework for Creep Rupture Life Prediction Under Data‐Scarce Conditions: A Case Study on IN718

An attention‐based multimodal deep learning framework is developed to fuse processing parameters with microstructural micrographs for predicting creep rupture life of IN718 under a fixed creep testing condition. Under a predefined composition‐stratified, sample‐level split, the framework achieved a mean test‐set R 2 of 0.917 ± 0.014 across 50 random‐seed training repetitions. The corresponding mean RMSE and MAPE were 0.14% and 6.0%, respectively. Interpretability analyses suggest that the predictions are consistent with established metallurgical understanding, particularly the important role of δ‐phase characteristics. Furthermore, uncertainty quantification endows the model with self‐assessment capabilities, allowing it to reliably quantify the confidence of its predictions. This study establishes a methodological framework that unifies predictive accuracy, physical interpretability, and model confidence, providing a validated paradigm for developing trustworthy AI models for materials design under data‐limited conditions.
