Abstract In this work, using the first-principles method, the alloying stability, electronic structure, and elastic properties of Al-based intermetallics were investigated. It was found that these alloys have a strong alloying ability and structural stability due to the negative formation energies and the cohesive energies. The valence bonds of these intermetallic compounds are attributed to the valence electrons of Cu 3δ states for AlCu3, Cu 3δ and Zr 4δ states for AlCu2Zr, and Al 3s, Zr 5s and 4δ states for AlZr3, respectively. Furthermore, the correlation between elastic properties of these intermetallic compounds and their electronic structures was revealed. The results show that structural parameters and elastic properties such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and anisotropy agreed well with experimental results.

Structure Calculations

Some of intermetallic compounds exist in a wide range of concentration around the stoichiometric composition. First-principles electronic structure calculations have been performed for constitutional defects in non-stoichiometric CoAl and CoTi in order to investigate their stabilities and structural relaxations induced by constitutional defects. For the evaluation of stabilities of constitutional defects, the compositional dependence curves both of formation energies and of lattice parameters are obtained by the calculations employing supercells in various sizes. The lattice relaxations around constitutional defects are discussed by analyzing the change in electronic structures induced by constitutional defects.

The Difference

Based on the density functional theory (DFT), the plane-wave pseudopotential method was used to investigate the electronic structures and mechanical properties of DO 3– Fe 75-x Si 25 Ni x(x = 0, 3.125, 6.25 and 9.375) intermetallic compounds. The elastic parameters were calculated, and then the bulk modulus, shear modulus and elastic modulus were derived. The paper then focuses on the discussion of ductility and plasticity. The results show that by adding appropriate Ni to Fe 3 Si intermetallic compound can improve the ductility. But the hardness will increase when the Ni content exceeds 6.25%. Analysis of density of states (DOS) and overlap populations indicates that with the difference of the strength of bonding and activity, there were some differences of ductility among different Ni contents. The Fe 71.875 Ni 3.125 Si 25 has the lowest hardness because the covalent bonding (Fe–Si bond and Si–Ni bond) has the minimum covalent electrons.

Effect Of Alloying

AbstractThe effect of alloying elements Ta, Mo, W, Cr, Re, Ru, Co, and Ir on the elastic properties of both γ-Ni and γ′-Ni3Al is studied by first-principles method. Results for lattice properties, elastic moduli and the ductile/brittle behaviors are all presented. Our calculated values agree well with the existing experimental observations. Results show all the additions decrease the lattice misfit between and γ′ phases. Different alloying elements are found to have different effect on the elastic moduli of γ-Ni. Whereas all the alloying elements slightly increase the moduli of γ′-Ni3Al expect Co. Both of the two phases are becoming more brittle with alloying elements, but Co is excepted. The electronic structures of γ′ phase alloyed with different elements are provided as example to elucidate the different strengthening mechanisms.
