Abstract: Multi-dimensional and multi-scale high-throughput characterization can effectively improve the development efficiency and significantly accelerate the industrialization process of advanced materials, which also serves as a scientific evidence for the reliable in-service assessment and entire lifetime management of engineering materials and structures. Firstly introduces the research background and fundamental concept of the multi-dimensional and multi-scale high-throughput characterization technology. The high-throughput sample preparation, multi-dimensional and multi-scale correlation tomography, in-situ high-throughput characterization technology are then summarized systematically. In addition, both current technological applications and limitations of the multi-dimensional and multi-scale high-throughput characterization technology are discussed in details. Finally, the technological challenges and future developing directions to the multi-dimensional and multi-scale high-throughput characterization technology are given to pursue the correlation between these problems and service performance of advanced materials and structures particularly subjected to extremely complex loading and environment conditions. This paper attempts to provide a basic reference to establish the quantitative relationship between the microstructural features and macro in-service performance, revealing the damage mechanism and failure mode of engineering components and promoting the development and application of advanced materials.
